Local treasures in St Ives…


With all the talk in the news lately about how our high streets are disappearing we wanted to highlight just how wonderful we think our little town centre is.

Not only do some of the more traditional, family-run shops such as butchers, greengrocers and bakers continue to thrive in the town, St Ives also offers an eclectic and exciting mix of independents that seem to be bucking the trend.

One of my absolute favourites is Pebbles, a jewellery shop on Fore Street, which sells a range of handmade jewellery from local and national makers. The jewellery is unique and every Christmas and birthday there is something from here on my wish list.


If you have little ones then Fabulous Kids is a little treasure trove filled with beautiful little outfits, quirky toys and games as well as a lovely baby boutique. If you need a gift for a newborn or a birthday present for a toddler you are certain to find something totally unique here, whatever your budget.


To add a touch of St Ives chic to your home take a trip to Gift St Ives. Here you’ll find a great range of lovely home wares including soft furnishings, candles, picture frames and individual decorations as well as a small range of stunning gift wrap that is simply gorgeous.


Of course no trip to St Ives would be complete without sampling some traditional Cornish goodies and if you’re looking for the best places to go, all of the office are in agreement that St Ives Bakery is the best for pasty’s, Ferrel & Sons cannot be beaten for their saffron buns and the scones from Pengenna Pasties are to die for!

Have fun exploring and choosing your favourite.
