Looks like a little piece of heaven....and you can still get there by train.

[tonimabbatt]

[riccardo]

5:59 Lands End is NOT the southernmost point of the United Kingdom. That accolade goes to Lizard Point which is 35 miles from Lands End and 27 miles from St Ives. Apart from that...great video!

[TheGarryBridgman]

Thanks for visiting love your videos. And you even managed to get my metal artwork in your video at 37:28 :)

A few dotting the "i's" and crossing the "t's" The two beaches Tuffy mensions are actually spelt Porthmeor (which is the surfing beach) and Porthgwidden which is on the Island and has a double decker arrangement of beach huts and a restaurant. Finally the "Warren" is so called because before all the houses / cottages were built it was a heath/moorland type of area and yep, you guessed it, was overun by our little bunny rabbit friends, hence the Warren name. We are fortunate to be in St Ives in a fortnight for a fortnight, praying for the Indian Summer. We stay in apartments in Carbis Bay and go into St Ives on the train. £1 each way. Excellent value! To me St Ives is a "foody heaven" with so much variety and super restaurants. Neil, as ever, a fab video and included some "off the beaten track" views of St Ives that most folks wouldn't see.

Fantastic place, in great weather. When ever I drive down there I get to Exeter and think I'm nearly there, but it a long slog still from there. Great video

[annenewton]

Lovely. We use to camp near there with our Children for many years.

[jocase]

Great video. Been there many times but usually in summer when it is much busier. Had lovely meals in a little restaurant called the Hobbler. Tuck away on the front. Believe it's now a home. Going back next week round the other side or maybe stroll along to Carbis bay.

Sorry but now I have to be a know it all sausage. Land’s End is neither the most southerly nor the most westerly point on the mainland U.K. That would be The Lizard and Ardnamurchan point (in the Highlands) respectively. Lovely to see St Ives on a beautiful day. Excellent video as usual.

[JanetTurner-ffzk]

Thanks for walking around St. Ives whilst I watched your enjoyable video from the comfort of my home😅 I haven't been to St Ives would love to visit out of season.

[bexhil]

A vary good video of St Ives I use go when i was holidaying in Penzance.!😀

[improvesheffield]

You did St. Ives proud!👍🏻
I’m interested to know the date this was filmed. I’m guessing late April, early May with the new foliage just coming out.

[delahunty]

Neil you are a my favourite city of York and today my favourite place in Britain of St many lovely memories of both. Thank you 😄😄🥰

[Tuffydipstick]

I have visited St. Ives several times. There are 5 beaches. You only showed 2. You missed Porthgrithwen beach where the island is, Carbis Bay and Porthmor around the other side. Lovely video though.
