Most people like to visit St Ives but it gets very busy in summer and parking is difficult. You can park & get the train from St Erth, a lovely train journey, only 10 mins and they run every 30 mins.

Chapel St is very interesting to visit. Many of the pubs I have listed are in Chapel Street but so too is the wonderful Egyptian House, worth a photo at least.

This reservoir is only 100m from our house, so a short walk up the lane. You can walk down the grass bank and across the bridge, you are not supposed to go any further but you get great sunsets from the bridge. This is a nice evening stroll.
