We all know that St Ives has plenty of amazing things to do and see, but there are also many things in the local area worth checking out whilst self catering in St Ives...
Godrevy
Looking out from St Ives Harbour casting your gaze along the
coastline you will spot the distinctive shape of Godrevy’s lighthouse. Godrevy consists of a beautiful sand dune beach, plenty of rock pools and an
awe inspiring coastal walk along North Cliffs where you can catch glimpses of
the local seals sunbathing on hidden coves along with an amazing café serving some of the
best cooked breakfasts imaginable, we recommend sitting out on the top deck and
taking in the views.
Godrevy is only a 15-minute drive from St Ives and is worth
a visit and is amongst one of our favourite local spots for lazy afternoon
strolls.
Trevaskis Farm
We love Trevaskis Farm, just outside of Hayle and only a 15-minute
hop from St Ives. Boasting pick your own fresh fruit and veg, farm park,
market shop and deli, not forgetting an amazing family friendly restaurant.
Trevaskis is a day out at its best in Cornwall, giving a great idea of working
life on a farm. Great for all ages to experience, we especially enjoy
strawberry picking afternoons topped off by a cream tea in the restaurant.
Paradise Park
After recently spending a whole day entertaining my niece at
Paradise Park, I cannot recommend it enough for a truly enchanting day out. We
visited on a slightly overcast Spring day, with high chances of rain which
didn’t dampen our spirits as we wandered around the beautiful gardens and
visited spectacular species of birds from around the globe. With plenty to see
and do, we spent a whole afternoon walking around the grounds, and being
enthralled by the live displays including ‘Flight of the Rainbows’ where
visitors can feed nectar to parrots.
Our highlight were the flamingos, free roaming around the
central area all twinned with beautiful horticulture, a sight I will not forget
in a hurry.
These are just a few of our recommendations whilst self-catering
in St Ives for perfect days out about around St Ives Bay...
