Getting there: There is a direct rail line from London (Paddington) to Penzance. You change at St. Erth for St. Ives. This is a picturesque line running along the coast and calling at Lelant, Carbis Bay and terminating at St. Ives. There is also a coach from London (Victoria) but it is a long journey.
By foot - from the railway station, walk into town, past church, along Fore Street, turn left after Union Inn, by Fudge Shop. Up hill, bear right. Barnoon Terrace is on the first right.

By car: There is a large car park 2 minutes from the flat. It is above the Tate, approached best from the rear of town. (follow brown signs for Tate until you reach cemetery wall at top of hill, then continue straight on for car park.). To make quick deliveries by back door, carry on past car park entrance, then turn right. Number 7 is the entrance second after the postbox, just before Bowling Green Lane (which brings you back to the car park). Once you get to St. Ives you hardly need a car as there is so much to do so close at hand.

St. Ives harbour is a focus for the town with a working harbour. There are boat trips to Seal Island and trips on the gaff rig Dolly Pentreath around the harbour. The St Ives Museum is full of interesting material describing the history of the fishing industry in the town etc. There are marvellous walks along the Cornish Coastal Footpath to Zennor (D.H. Lawrence lived here). In the other direction there is Lelant which is on St. Michael's Way (the old route to StMichael's Mount). Carbis Bay and the huge deserted beaches of Hayle with walks towards the lighthouse and headland where you can see seals. There are good public train services from London to St. Ives and good local bus services. There are also coach trips (run by Oates) to The Lost Gardens of Heligan, near Mevagissey and the Minack Theatre at Porthcumo, a lovely amphlitheatre overlooking the sea. The Eden Project.near St Austell is not yet open but has had thousands of visitors already.
