Location
Flat 1 The Saltings is located on what is known as the Island in St Ives and is less than five metres form Porthmeor Beach and approximately 250 metres from the harbour and town centre.
Cornwall’s unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. St Ives is home to the landmark Tate St Ives Gallery (built in 1993), the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum and the Bernard Leech Pottery. St Ives is bordered by three beautiful sandy beaches, Porthmeor for surfing, Porthgwidden and Porthminster which are repeatedly voted among the best in the British Isles. Set against the colourful backdrop of the working fishing harbour, the turquoise waters of St. Ives have attracted artists since the 19th century due to its renowned clarity of light. The town, with winding cobbled streets, is also a ‘foodie’ destination packed with numerous restaurants, pubs and cafes all offering excellent fare including the award-winning Porthminster Beach Café.
There is a COOP centrally located and a larger Tesco supermarket at the top of Trelyon Avenue in Carbis Bay but if you are looking for bread look no further than the St Ives Bakery on Fore Street whose sour dough was voted as one of the top ten best in the country.
At nearby Lelant, overlooking the Hayle Estuary there is a spectacular links golf course with views stretching up towards Godrevy Lighthouse. A scenic branch railway line links Carbis Bay and St. Ives with the main London-Penzance line at nearby St. Erth.
