St.Ives began to attract artists eighty years ago because of it's picturesque cluster of brightly painted cottages, gleaming white sands, and fleet of fishing boats.
Today it is a magnet for Thousands of tourists every year. Once the centre of the Cornish pilchard fishing industry, it is now mainly a tourist centre.
 
Unlike so many beautiful towns and villages St.Ives has managed to retail its rail link to the rest of the country, albeit slightly truncated to provide a car park. The views from the train windows as it approaches the town are outstanding.
 
A dog ban is in place on St.Ives harbour between Easter and October.
