Travel Destinations

Located on the southern end of Cornwall, on the coast, is the beautiful seaside village of St Ives Cornwall. The town holds festivals each year and is a popular resort town. It also has a branch of the Tate museum and a sculpture garden.

One of the three festivals held is a ceremony which is held every five years on July 25th, to celebrate the Knill steeple monument. A second is the Feast of St. Ives, which celebrates the founding by St. Ia. Then there is the Day of May, a common Cornish custom celebrating the arrival of spring.

One of the most popular and well known festivals is the September Festival. It is the longest held art festival in the U. K., running for fifteen days and featuring a broad range of art exhibits, including music, poetry, film and talks.

During the September Festival there is free music and the local art galleries open their shops up to the public for demonstrations. A 500 seat theater also accommodates some of the larger concerts. Many people from all over the world come for the festival. There are also tons of bed and breakfasts to accommodate people’s stays.

The town is accessible from all over England and anywhere else in the world, with a train and bus service, and flights coming in to Newquay and Plymouth. There are also some beautiful beaches, fishing villages, and the town is a short distance from such attractions like Land’s End, the most westerly spot in England, with scenic vistas and cliffs.

It is also close to the world’s largest greenhouse in St. Austell, which contains two large conservatories – one with a rainforest, the other containing flowers and fruits from the Mediterranean and Africa. There are also many pottery exhibits and guided tours.
