he north Cornwall coast starts on leaving Landsend and travelling north along the coast on the B3306 to St. Just. The road crosses ancient moorland, skirts the sea, twists through medieval farmsteads, and rich seams of tin, for which thousands of men once risked their lives. It brings together the two faces of Cornwall, the one superbly scenic and the other industrial. You will see high hedges full of wildlife and wild flowers; convolvulus, cow parsley and pink campions growing entangled together. You see old stone circles, brick mine chimneys other mining paraphernalia of yesteryear, and travel through proud ancient mining villages like Botallac and Zennor. This stretch of the Cornish coastline is truly a history lesson, there is even an old pub called the Tinners Arms, and if the walls could speak what a story they would have to tell.
‘My career has taken me to every corner of the world but nowhere has the ambience of Cornwall, it is at Botallac where I spent many happy childhood hours and return to the area whenever possible’

Now to the jewel in Cornwall’s crown St Ives, a beautiful seaside town, set in breathtaking coastal scenery. Whatever the time of year or day, St Ives gives something special to every visit that makes people want to return again and again.
A former fishing port, St Ives is now a popular holiday destination, with many visitors returning year after year. With a number of beaches, Porthmeor Beach (next to Tate St Ives) is renowned for its surfing, Porthgwidden Beach is in a sheltered cove, below the town is the Harbour Beach, and the Porthminster Beach is well-loved by families with its golden sand and beautiful views, and only minutes from the train station and the town centre. In neighbouring Carbis Bay there is a long sandy beach, also ideal for families and in Lelant is Porthkidney Beach – a hidden gem where dog walking is permitted year-round. With the benefit of the warmth of the Gulf Stream, the area also enjoys a mild sub-tropical climate.
It is said that a mermaid from Zennor met Matthew Trewella the son of the local squire at Zennor. The story goes that one day a beautiful woman in a long dress came and sat at the back of the church, she came regularly and one evening she lured him to the stream that runs through the village. He was never seen again, but some years later a mermaid approached a ship at anchor in the cove, and asked the captain to remove his anchor which was resting on her front door. She said she wanted to return to her husband Mathew and their children.
