St Ives, Coastal town in Cornwall, England

St Ives stretches along multiple sandy beaches with narrow streets leading to a natural harbor where fishing boats dock alongside pleasure craft throughout the year.

The settlement began as a medieval fishing port, expanding during the 19th century when the railway connection brought visitors and established it as a holiday destination.

The Barbara Hepworth Museum preserves the studio and garden of the sculptor, displaying her works among subtropical plants in an outdoor setting.

The St Ives branch line train service connects to the main railway network at St Erth, offering direct access to the town center and harbor area.

The Tate St Ives gallery occupies a circular building overlooking Porthmeor Beach, showcasing modern art collections with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
