St Ives Cornwall

  
St Ives Cornwall
 
 
We love Cornwall and one of our favourite places to visit in Cornwall is St Ives I always loved it and I am sure it might be something to do with a book I had as a child with the rhyme:
 
As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St Ives?
 
I was so pleased when I first went to S Ives I love the whole area around there too. It is so busy in summer but great! There are great little shops and the Tate gallery on the sea front is a must!!
We have stayed at a few campsites but St Ives bay is huge and leads to the biggest sand dunes and beach that seems to go on forever.
 
 
I swear we heard the beast of Bodmin Moor one May when we camped there ha! I woke up in the night to what sounded like a bloody tiger but went back to sleep only to wake up to a dead rabbit (well its back legs) outside our van. It was probably only a fox or badger but I am going with the beast of Bodmin Moor story instead.
 
People always go on about the light in St Ives but it is true......my photos always come out great there and the artist that you see around St Ives always agree.
 
 





 
One of the best experiences we had in St Ives was when we went to meet some friends and we had a BBQ on the beach one night only to see dolphins swimming in the sea at sunset.
