Welcome to one of Cornwall's newest major attractions. A fabulous place positioned in a sheltered valley with woodland and streams creating a backdrop to sub-tropical plants and contemporary art installations. The Lime Tree Cafe offers freshly prepared, homemade meals and is open all day for drinks, snacks and meals.
Not exactly a house, but here you can see the remains of a village that was inhabited over 2,000 years ago.
The garden and museum preserve the work of one of St Ives' most revered 20th century artists. Sculptor Barbara Hepworth's studio and workshop are kept much as they were when she lived and worked there. Sculptures in bronze, stone and wood are on display, along with paintings, drawings and archive material.
Set in 28 acres of beautiful Cornish countryside, Trevaskis Farm has an abundance of fruit and veggies to pick whatever the weather (lots of the crops grow under cover). There's also a restaurant serving nice big healthy portions; their recipes will inspire you with ideas for turning your hand-plucked fruit into mouthwatering treats. Pick up some organic goodies from the well-stocked farm shop before going home to cook up a storm.
Godrevy is a locality in far west Cornwall with high cliffs, sheltered coves and sandy beaches. With The National Trust owning all of the land from Godrevy to Navax Point there are plenty of walks where seals, guillemots, razorbills and fulmars are a common sight.
An eclectic mix of Artisan crafts and all made by locals! From jewellery and glass, to ceramics and baskets, you will find a great range of products available here.
Look out for the gallery on the scenic route (B3311) between Penzance and St Ives. Run by a knitwear designer, who has a workshop onsite too. You'll find textiles, ceramics, glass, metalwork and a fantastic selection of jewellery and paintings by local artists. Enjoy a cream tea in the cafe while you're here.
