CORNWALL WALK - Carbis Bay St Ives

- A fantastic walk from Carbis Bay to St Ives. St Ives can be very busy in the summer and you could end up parking in the car park on top of the hill. We park in Carbis Bay, slightly quieter than St Ives and follow the coast path for about a mile, through pretty country lanes and across beaches to avoid the crowds.
We visit four beaches in total along the way - which is your favourite? and enjoy everything that St Ives has to offer - history, food, shopping and more, returning on the train to Carbis Bay.

Back in 1960 walked from St Ives via Carbis Bay to the estuary at Hayle. A man in a row boat ferried me across. In those days if I remember rightly, there was a power station on the east bank. Still love St Ives and often visit from my home near Padstow.
There was indeed a power station there, all gone now and recently they developed a 'wave hub' centre, creating electric from wave energy. Sarah :)
One of my favourite
walks you have done.
Just beautiful, and the fish and
Chips looked superb.
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely place Sarah. We went to Barbara Hepworth's sculpture garden and then a walk around but we had a job parking so would love to go back. You have shown us such a lot that we have missed. Thank you and have a good Sunday. Greetings, Julie.
Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden was not included in this walk but we have another of the town, focussing on the history and I think we will do this in the winter - a winter walk in St Ives! Will be quite a contrast! Sarah :)
Brilliant video all the way through, loved the stopping off points and the refreshments, will be doing this walk in a month or so, can't wait, hope it's as enjoyable as yours, thank you so much for sharing, looked amazing.
Lots of memories for me . Great video as always. I remember porthminster beach having a diving board on the rocks just below the hotel and a diving raft just in front of it. thanks for posting. A T B Stewart
You're welcome! Sarah :)
What a beautiful place. The beach looked beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 😃😃👍👍
You were wise to take the train. The hill is a killer. Great video.
Wow! St Ives never ceases but give you the feel good factor and this film did just that. Thank you for sharing this lovely short film with us. Really up to your usual standard and I really enjoyed it.
Love St Ives, great as always! Sarah :)
Okay! I’m packing up and moving. That’s a beautiful place! I think the fish and chips got me and the beaches. Lol.
St Ives is stunning - an artists' mecca because of the light! A fantastic place just to wonder, any day of the year! Sarah :)
i love so much this place..cant wait go there one day for a holiday at least..
What a fantastic beach that is! One of the many things I like about the channel is, the opportunity for us to each places that, if I am honest, we will never get to visit ourselves (too far to travel), so this is the next best thing. Fish n chips and a cider, perfect for me, what a great day! Our local for sea and fish n chips is Whitby, which is about 50 minutes away and a place we both love, although, after watching this, I would gladly swap you a day..... great advert for St Ives, cheers Alan
Likewise - would love to go to Whitby but it is unlikely that we would ever get there! Enjoy some f&c for us next time you go!! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah & Andrew, thanks for another superb walk. Stunning beaches and scenery - the depth and clarity of colour there never ceases to amaze. Now we know your recently changed channel image is the old pier - John was curious! As usual, Andrew made us smile - Pollocks! Thanks again.
10/10 for spotting the pier!! I really loved the old picture and it needed to be something special to take it's place - incredibly difficult because it take such a thin slither of the full image! Sarah :)
Oh how gorgeous. Thanks for taking us to St Ives. I am looking forward to visiting and maybe taking the train. Thanks for the laughs, they helped brighten a dreary week.
You are very kind! We have a bit of fun on our walks! Sarah :)
That looked like such a beautiful walk!! Love all the parts of it!! Going to the beach the little towns, the harbor and at the end taking the trail back...that beer with the lunch looked delicious 😋
It is a wonderful beach.👍beautiful video.
Loved your video of St Ives great to see it in all its glory wish I was back there
The path between Carbis Bay to St Ives is my favourite walk in the world. We go to St Ives every June and the last few years we have stayed in a holiday home, called Tremorva, which is located just above the narrow lane at 2:20, (This part is called Hain Walk).
We do this walk into St Ives nearly every day!!! We usually either get the bus back up the hill or walk via the road. Occasionally, if we're feeling brave we will walk via the coast path but that slope is steep!
We're back down there in about eight weeks and am bingeing on St Ives videos at the moment as I can't wait to be there again!
I love this walk, both winter and summer it is a great way to get to St Ives! A bus back is a great idea as, like you say, it is a steep slope! Enjoy your next visit! Sarah :)
Beautiful walk, stunning places, got to be the most picturesque beaches in the UK, the sea looks so inviting there. The food looked amazing, washed down with cider too, can't beat it, hopefully I'll get myself there one day , thanks for sharing, all the best 👍
Thanks for your comment and I am glad we made you want to visit - even if only for the food!! Sarah :)
Thank you for sharing, I could watch this time and again, brings back fond memories of last summer 😁👌🏼🌞🏖️🌊 can't wait for August 😁xxx
Hi, - visiting in August? Great!! Keep us posted about your plans and share some photos on Instagram - #CornishWalkingTrails Will you be visiting St Ives? Sarah :)
Cornish Walking Trails yes we will be visiting Cornwall at the end of August and definitely St Ives 👌🏼😁 will tag them 👍 xxAllyxx
Thank you for a great video.
Love this video of St Ives
Love the chips! Sarah :)
Great videos, keep them coming.
Great video thank you, enjoyed it very much.
Another nice video. Subbed. Can't beat walking around Cornwall
Excellent quality video as always, really capturing the atmosphere of the area 🌞
beautiful beach Sarah & Andrew nice summer weather you have there thankyou for the nice video ..good picture from your cam :)
Hi David - thanks for watching! So different to your Melbourne tours, urban v. rural! Sarah :)
oh dont worry i will film rural also in near future its just work at the moment i feel like a chook stuck in office cage but all for a good reason ..I will have some city photos Monday ..didnt go anywhere really we watched tennis Wimbledon till 7 am longest game 6.5 hours and they couldnt play longer beyond 11pm because of licencing haha continue today (Rafa Nadal) tonight at 11 pm is Football all the best to Uk this sports gonna kill us my god ! they inerupt my fiming hobby and social life rrrrrrrrrr... cheers David & Myriam
I can relate! Andrew says,"Let's go filming, I can record the football and watch it later!" We went out while the group stage was playing and he was told the score! We also went out when the England played Sweden on the quarter finals and he could hear all the cheers in the pubs!! We stayed at home for the semi!! Not watched Wimbledon this year - the weather has been too great to miss! Just had a week's annual leave and will be cooped up in the office until Christmas now! :( Sarah xx
Gorgeous St. Ives 💕 I have visited 4 times 😉 I enjoyed very much to watch this video - again 🤩 Thank you 👍😍
Love your video and your attitude to walking. Even though I've done most of this walk it was superb to follow your steps and hear your thoughts - the funnier the better. You two shud do guided walks. It would be lots of fun.
Thanks for your lovely comment - I am so glad that the fun we have comes through to the video! As you can see, we go out to have a good time, admire the views and take it all in, Sarah :)
Thank you for the walking tour! Lots of great memories of being at St. Ives with church group for many summers :)
Lovely to hear from you! I'm glad we brought back some memories of good times! We had a lovely day! Sarah :)
Another fantastic video! I so want to go there one day. The food looks sooo good and the town looks so beautiful. Thanks for sharing the experience. Andrew's jokes are great!
Thanks for your great comment - I will let Andrew know that you love his jokes! Sarah :)
How can anybody give this thumbs down? Unbelievable!
I love the saint Ives area, but brilliant to walk in rather than parking there. Looks like a beautiful day. Still a neat walk even with the diversion.
Lovely St. Ives area and lovely the two of you :-) Very enjoyable video
Thanks Torunn! Sarah :)
You had a fabulous day for your walk. A stunning resort. Gets a 10 from me. 🤗
We had been saving this one for a good day - one of the jewels in the crown needed to look good! Sarah :)
very nice travel likee
Hi both, haven’t been to St Ives for a while now but recognise the walk taken and of course the lovely town in your video! Thanks for bringing back some lovely memories, we must go back there soon 😎😎😎
I hope we wetted your appetite for another slice of Cornwall! Sarah :)
Just discovered your channel this morning. We were in St. Ives last April and loved it. Wife is originally from St. Just. We pop down every year now and I'm taking notes on where you've been etc. Very informative.
I hope you enjoy watching and dipping into the channel a bit more! Thank you for your comment. We filmed today, at Geevor mine. Your wife will know where that is, being from St Just. We were so lucky - we saw a pair of choughs! Sarah :)
GORGEOUS!!! We love taking hikes into popular places to avoid the traffic. Very warm walk today! Views are lovely!!! Fish and Chips and pint of cider!!! Cheers! Lol! You always make me want to come visit you!!!
If you ever visit, let us know and we will point you in the direction of some good fish and chips - small portion, of course!! LOL! Sarah :)
"Jackson Pollocks!" Andrew, have mercy! Fun video.
The irony! Sarah :)
Really truly awesome views of the bay and sea. You can't possibly get fed up there. You captured the spirit of the beaches - I loved the feel of it. It sure was a tasty lunch and day out amid the streets also. Many homes empty out of season it would appear. Good on you for using the train. Adds to an already great day. Take care. Mark
I could quite happily lose a couple of hours just sitting on the beach and never get bored! It's a lot quieter in winter and there have been a few changes to the rules regarding second homes, not sure if it has worked though! Sarah :)
Yes, Sarah I resonate with your love for the beach. As for home ownership it's the cornerstone of a capitalist society. It's like the disparity will grow before anything changes. I'm not a fanatic it's just the way it is. Peace!
Totally agree! Sarah :)
Great walk once again Guys!! Love the idea of walking in , with the train back. Never been to St Ives....looks absolutely idyllic. Loved the tiny streets. I'm with Andrew btw...modern art??...no clue!! Now't like fish and chips at the seaside! (although serving them in a wok is sacrilegious in my Yorkshire eyes!! ) Thanks for the great tour!! :-))
I think the fish and chips was the work of art! LOL - not a wok, but a black bowl! Not that I like eating out of a bowl - what is wrong with a plate? At least you can cut things up!! Sarah :)
Well done Andrew. It’s a railway station, not a train station. Lovely video.
What a pretty area! And what a great day for the beach! Yummy food and cider! ;) What an adorable town, I wonder where the residents park their cars. -Annaleis
Hi, thanks for watching! That bemuses me - I wonder if there are some residents only car parking areas!?! Sarah :)
The meal looks so good I love that part of the walk from US
Oh! It was so good! Sarah :)
Yes, its odd walking through the pool area of the Carbis Bay Hotel, we did it in the spring passing 3 women in the hot tub/ jacuzzi. Odd feeling !! you did the right thing with the train as that hill is steep. Great film as ever.
I agree - really odd walking through the hotel but it is the hotel that is behind the development and the consequent redirecting of the coastal path. They do a lovely cream tea! Sarah :)
Hello Sarah and Andrew!! Loooove the video, St.Ives is absolutely stunning,such raw beauty . The water was so clear and beautiful, do you happen to know what the water temperature gets at it’s warmest?? I don’t think I would care either way,I would still have to take a splash anyway lol. The rock bed looked really cool, my Jake would spend hours there as he has such a liking for rocks . The chapel was in absolute perfect location ,such a peaceful spot. And that lunch looked scrumptious, nothing like fresh seafood and cider 😁Sarah ,I absolutely adored that necklace ,I’ve never come across one like that, I am always on the lookout for unique necklaces to dress up even a t-shirt if going somewhere that I feel need a little something extra!! Have a great weekend and thank you sooo much for the time that you put into making the videos, I cannot wait to visit!! Sending happiness your way from Ohio,Lori
The water is quite cold, about 18 degrees by the end of August. Of course the little pools in the sun are much warmer than the actual sea! The necklace - something I bought in a high street chemist for just a few pounds - love costume jewellery! Love to have a coffee when you visit!! Sarah :)
I would absolutely love to have a coffee,maybe we could even do a walk!! I will gladly give you my personal cell phone number . 18 degrees Celsius is probably just a tad cooler than what the Atlantic Ocean is in the northeastern part of the States right now , our swimming pool is currently 82 degrees Fahrenheit and the kids and husband are complaining it is still to chilly lol . Talk with you soon Sarah!Lori
thanks for showing us your walk we enjoyed it
*🎭🔍full watch support🔎🎭✅ left a big 👍🇦🇺👍like for you 👍👍😉 😊*
Stunning area
The only thing more amazing than a train ride is a train ride in England. However as always Andrew's joke are pretty darn amazingly good even when there bad. Cheers guys. Swear to god I'm saving every pound, shilling and pence i can to go there and be a guest star on a walk with you guys. =)
Just let us know when - we would love to have you join us! Sarah :)
AWESOME been there ALOT
Brilliant
Hope the G7 Summit Leaders follow your footsteps in June! Lovely filmed.
i have walked around there in my wedges and it was lovely and i m a man so cool
Such a lovely, & busy, afternoon stroll - esp after viewing the quiet, empty, early am St. Ives walkabout just yesterday. Cornwall is fast becoming my bucket-list, instead of just being a destination on it!
Hi Sarah
Lovely video, just wanted to let you know that there were only two or three sail lofts in St Ives, most of them were net lofts. Hope you don’t mind me mentioning it. 👏🏻
Wow.....real beautiful areas you two walked to. Everything looks so wonderful, I wouldn't know what to shoot if I was doing a video. One question...........since you are in Cornwall, are the chips supposed to be on the bottom of the bowl, or on top of the fish. LOL
LOL - very good! Sarah :D
Hi Guys, just a visit to continue to support your channel. Watched and liked and enjoyed! #IAmACreator
Wow lovely place to explore! We are going for weekend there 😊could you recommend for us place for good fish and chips ?please
stives heaven on earth but don't tell anyone, we like to keep it a secret.
Totally! I agree! Shhhhh! Sarah ;)
Thanks for posting this, another lovely video. St Ives is a very special and beautiful place; I often do this walk, but starting at Lelant Saltings. The beaches at Lelant, Carbis Bay & St Ives itself are wonderful. Did you know that Carbis Bay beach is quite radioactive, due to mine waste from Wheal Providence contaminating the beach centuries ago? The background radiation there is about 6 x the national average, so a day on the beach there is apparently like having a dental x-ray! But much more fun!
LOL! I love it! I have seen some of the old photos showing the mine buildings but looks like a different place today! At low tide, on a spring tide, you can see the remains of a wooden hull, a ship wreck and walk to Porthkidney beach, another beautiful place! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah, yes I've noticed the stumps of wood poking out of the beach at very low tide there - just looked it up and it's apparently the SS Vulture which was wrecked on November 18th 1893 in a ferocious gale that destroyed 5 ships in the St Ives area. It was known as the Cintra Gale after another ship, the Cintra, which ran aground on Porthminster beach. Isn't the internet wonderful for finding out such amazing facts? I also googled "walks with a shipwreck in Cornwall" and I discovered on the iwalkcornwall.co.uk website a list of walks which feature shipwrecks!
We have been aware of the site but we have plenty of walks to get through in our books first!! We have not explored it but I know my boss has used it and found it to be very good! Sarah :)
Good to see they didn't serve you the chips in a small basket or the fish on a slate :-/ Like Snives ,not my most fav part but it has an interesting artistic background.Nice drop of Duloe apple juice is that isn't it Andrew.Hope you're both enjoying this beaut of a summer.
We have been lucky enough to have a couple of weeks on holiday in Cornwall with loads of footage 'in the can'! The next few videos should be lovely and sunny!! Sarah :)
The area at the beginning has been completely destroyed now by Carbis Bay hotel, no plantlife left at all. It’s heartbreaking.
Like #41
Sarah - could you please tell me what those flowers are called at 7:59 I photographed some of them at Lizard Point last summer 2019 many thanks Terry xx
I'd melt in 28c 🤕🙋♂️
Only £20 parking
Sooooo great to watch without those stupid face things!
Agreed! The face diapers are disgusting and de-humanizing.
