- So what does St Ives mean to you? When I think of St Ives, I think of the pretty cottages, idyllic streets and the fishing boats in the harbour.
We love St Ives! I particularly love the beaches and the colour of the water in the summer sunshine. The smell of the clean sea air on the warm, gentle breeze. The town has lots to offer: history, culture, surfing, and ice cream.
In our compilation video we give you all of this and more. Taken from our 2020 videos, starting with breakfast with a view, enjoy a 'mini-break' as we pass through the streets and around the harbour in varying seasons.
We also take the train on the UK's most scenic branch line to Lelant, a request stop, and return to St Ives along the South West Coast Path via Carbis Bay.

The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on TH-cam, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!
Frequently asked questions:
What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII
How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.
Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
What is your dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

We love st ives..... we were there in march.....aweful weather......when we got back to surrey the weather was good...never mind we still enjoyed our visit...thankyou.
Well done again Sarah & Andrew for yet another Cornish feast for our eyes. I love St.Ives for everything it has about it. So
scenic and full of character, with beautiful beaches and turquoise water. You can just relax and soak up the relaxing
atmosphere - in spite of the crowds and noisy seagulls. Thankyou both for your hard work in sharing Cornwall with us. 💕
Been to St. Ives several times. It's my favourite place in Cornwall.
A lovely bag full of Cornish memories. Thank you both.
I've been in Cornwall four times, and twice in St. Ives. St. Ives is a splendid mix of tranquility, art and beauty. I hope to come to Cornwall very soon. I miss it!
Childhood memories, Hart's ice-cream, fish and chips on the harbour wall,
I remember Hart's! Always had an ice cream from there! Sarah :)
I have also been to st ives a few times , out of all the places I have been in England , Cornwall is easily top for me. Plus I have some fabulous friends living there ....
Enjoyed the walk, thank you 👍🏻
it looks so nice there, one day maybe i will see it in person
Cornwall, including st Ives means warm, relaxing holiday with loads of mystery, smuggling and lots of haunted places to explore, I love a holiday in Cornwall.
What does St. Ives (and Carbis Bay) mean to us? Maybe as close as you can get to Heaven on Earth? Especially on a warm, sunny summer's day. That's why we would regularly jump on the train and head down there, sometimes staying over. (Does that make me an Emmet? Ha,ha!). That train ride between St. Erth and St. Ives is breathtaking. It's just a shame that so many of the houses and cottages are second homes and holiday lets, but that's the way it is I guess. Thank you for this compilation of vlogs which we found informative, inspiring and entertaining. 'Devon' Tony.
Totally love the train ride too and I guess Devon has a lot of second/holiday homes too, Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Yes indeed, Sarah. Salcome in South Devon is a virtual ghost town in the winter. The price to pay for living in the two most beautiful counties in the UK, I guess. Tony. ;-)
I thoroughly enjoy these adventures around Cornwall - my bucket-list bulls-eye - I can preview the coolest spots even if I can't get there yet, and your humor & enthusiasm make it like a welcome walk w/old friends. I also appreciate the heads-up re walk difficulty level, for future reference.
Cornwall means everything to me. It's so cool! Quaint streets. "Chocolate box" buildings Of all sorts of shapes and designs and less Global warming!!!! What I wouldn't give to live there !
Been coming to St Ives all my life, 47 years. Just back from a gorgeous week there and had breakfast in a pod at Porthmeor Beach cafe 2 days ago. The best view!
Really enjoyed this! Thank you xx
I will enjoy this video when I watch it, my wife and myself just love St Ives and that whole area. But when we visit out of season it is so quiet, so many homes not used it almost feels erie, but this applies to many places in Cornwall not just St Ives.
great video thanx for sharing, we visit Cornwall each year sadly not this year, find it so very peaceful lovely rural roads and people so friendly x
Lovely video,, watched over looking Perranuthnoe beach,, yes I'm in Cornwall !! Weather report,,,,,full sun, not a cloud to be seen ! Whiskey good, pasties better !!!
We have stopped in at Ives many times, before it got silly and overcrowded,, a cottage by the pier, called the (Pelican)
St.Ives is nice.It all is sooooo artsy and HIP!!! I love to draw like Sarah.hey Sarah I love your art work it's great.gives me ideas
Oh thank you! Sarah :)
Excellent video, thank you both very much. My wife and I have many happy memories of summer holidays spent in Cornwall especially St Ives. Thank you again. Watching the video at home in Falkirk. Scotland.
I really enjoyed this video. The city is so beautiful with lots of ocean views and the quant small streets and homes. As Andrew would say, St. Ives is handsome. And the video is complete with a flying squirrel. Who could ask for more.
St Ives, the place we spent our honeymoon in 1977, a lot more people and traffic about now, but a day spent in the town brings back such nice memories. Thanks for making my week better.
Hi Sarah & Andrew I really enjoyed St Ives complication today besides it brought back memories I saw slot of parts I've never seen befor. Thank you. Marie
Currently looking at coming to Cornwall later in the year! After 2 attempts in the last few years which have had to be cancelled, it's long overdue! I remembered all these compilation segments! If we do visit St. Ives when we come down to Cornwall, we always use the coast road from St Just. It's just a lovely ride along there via Zennor & gives the real flavour of Cornwall with an added bonus of there being a small place along the way with amazing cream teas! There's also a hidden quirky wildlife sculpture garden called Tanglewood at the start of the drive in that area..well worth a visit if you like areas that are a bit offbeat to visit & to get away from the crowds. Hey ho...let's hope I can get there this year! J x
Interesting we watched one of your walks a few weeks ago, where you parked up, walked from Carbis Bay, to St Ives and caught the train back! I see that, that footpath is now closed! 😜 Hope EVERYONE enjoys the Cornish Sunshine?! 🌞 really look forward to your post every week, now we have found you, take care! 😊
Really is a very pretty place, white sandy beaches, calm turquoise waters, quaint alleyways, fishing boats, holiday vibe, just like the Mediterranean!!🌅🏖️🌄🎨⛵🛶🍦 Many thanks for the compilation!👏
Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this video. Fingers crossed we will be holidaying in Carbis bay later in the year after 2 holidays there cancelled due to covid. It all looked so beautiful, thank you again xx
May I suggest The Badger Lelant , Beck's restaraunt (fish and chip as well) . And anywhere in St Ives all good . Porthgwidden ,Porthminster ,and Porthmeir restaurants/ cafe on beach so views fantastic. Catch the sunset on Porthmeir beach stunning
@@chriscrawley2680 thank you.
You must go for coffee in the pedn Olva . Rooftop terrace overlooking sea . Bar inside has views of beach
Good spot for seal spotting .
Another brilliant video, my highlight (apart from the scenery) was seeing how excited you were about the trains ❤️😂 Seeing St. Ives in different seasons was wonderful x
The narrow and cute streets, the train journey from St Erth, the choice of beaches but most of all the walks out of town along the coast
What a lovely video! Can’t wait to get back to Cornwall in a few months ☺️
Great compilation video of stunning St Ives. It'll always remind me of family holidays in the 60s with my parents, both art enthusiasts, though I've been 100 times since. Great that you respect your doggie's privacy!
Fabulous once more, thank you Sarah and Andrew.
Don't know what I and everyone else would do without your weekly video's.
Can't wait to get back down to Cornwall I learn something new every week that I didn't know about, you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
Keep up the good work x🤗
A lovely video from beautiful St. Ives and its surroundings 😊 And the train ride is one of a kind ❤ It is always a joy to watch your videos, and I don’t think I will ever get tired from these views. Thank you for the facts about Knill’s Monument. We stopped there once on our way from St. Michael’s Mount to St. Ives along St. Michael’s Way. And at Porthminster Beach Café almost at the end of the walk, the beer Knill By Mouth from St. Ives Brewery was the obvious choice 😊
I been to st ives in 1986 last week August to September so beautiful place the harbour the little cottages so quiet and peaceful thankyou for the video enjoy as as always 😀
Great video again . Can I suggest you do one of the "ghost walk " all around St Ives . Really interesting history and stories ,and great fun .
Coming to Cornwall on Sat for two weeks and St Ives is on our visit list,love coming here,how wonderful that the train from St Erth to St Ives is cancelled due to G7,parking will be a nightmare,love the vids and keep them coming.
Brilliant compilation Andrew & Sarah! Will definitely take that scenic St Ives to Lelant train ride when next in Cornwall. I had an unexpected find last year ~ a small oil painting on board (1ft x 1ft) of Lelant Station (in a charity shop in Kingston, here in London), signed by 'Geoffrey Thomas'. The fine detail is amazing, capturing low sunlight reflecting on the station walls and tops of trees. He's clearly a gifted artist like yourself, only I've done a search online but can find nothing. x
Gotta get down there.
The ghost walks are at night . Shanty babba really good guide . Ian Addicote does Penzance one as well .both totally recommended .
😍😍😍
I wonder if the old fudge shop near the sloop has survived the last year, the old chap in there sounds like George Formby.
Can remember them from years ago . He looks a bit like Bryan Murphy ( George and Mildred ) and does sound just like George Formby !
Having my ice cream stolen by a seagull!!!
LOL! Me too! Sarah :)
St. Ives means to me
Everything. My Shangri-la. As as child we had free train rides from the Midlands down to St. Ives. We stayed in camping coaches right on the harbour. Of course its a car park there now. We lived it there in Sept holiday We had the beach all to our selves. Beautiful. After they re did the train station we stayed at Hayle Towans in those lovely chalets. There was no mod cons but as children we were in paradise. Freedom . Sandunes and Grass over there. Then as we got older and married we went to Hayle and St Ives. Amazing memories. Then when we had children we took them every year. My eldest son has now taken his daughter there. My Father in law moved down to Cornwall with his second wife. They had national trust cottage in Boetherick Green near Saltash. More holidays in lovely Cornwall. His wife's parents lived on St. Michael's month. Till they eventually moved near the Tamar river. Yes Cornwall is very special to us. We will try and visit next year if at all possible. Xx
Right on the railway station I meant to say. Xx does anyone remember the camping coaches there b4 the car park filled those rail in. Xx
It means wonderful memories
Classic video whilst having breakfast....smaller beaches in harbour great safe spot for kids👍
What was the name of the electric guitar music after 10 mins, so relaxing!
St Ives, again.
That was great. Thank you. Have you been to Barbara Hepworth's garden /museum? Love from Galicia.
St. Ives is wonderful out of season. I avoid it in the summer, bit of a nightmare.
Hey sarah have you ever been to those 2 round houses you drive thru was it supposed to ward off evil spirts?forgot name .it’s near st mawes road I think.
I would love the both of you to go to Hayle towans and show us what it looks like now. If possible bc of G7 sumitt you may not be able to. ??
Sorry guy I forgot to mention I've also never seen At Ives so quiet and peaceful. Marie
I think St Ives was probably better when Borlase Smart, the painter lived there, but now it is too crowded and l much prefer Penzance and Newlyn to St Ives and Falmouth when l visit Cornwall.
Have you come across a husky
Don't stop atlenantanymore xbxpz
What do I think of when I see St Ives? Crowds. Narrow, very steep streets and a car park which is a long way from the town. As for those sculptures, I agree with Andrew. Awful.
if heven is i real place then it must be st ives
so unspoilt
