One of the best towns you will ever come across
St Ives takes a lot of stick from the locals but there’s no getting away from the fact that it’s just mind-blowingly an eye-opener. If the light doesn’t get you the views will. Parking is impossible but I know a few tricks. The painting is great as there are just so many views and angles to work with. No wonder it has a reputation as an artist's destination. I would avoid the Tate, not my cuppa tea, but I am old fashioned and the young would love it. There are good little family galleries around. Fish and Chips are brilliant especially down by the Sloop Inn
