St. Ives from Hayle Beach
Our Favourite Places
Godrevy Lighthouse & Coastal Path
 Godrevy LighthouseThis photograph was taken along the coastal footpath that skirts past our favourite lighthouse. Below, the rocks of Godrevy beach can be seen. This area is perfect for a family afternoon outing and is only a 15 minute drive from our chalets. |  Spectacular viewsFurther along the coastal path, traveling toward "Hell's Mouth", spectacular views can be observed. |  'Seal Cove'This cove is unofficially named 'Seal Cove' due to the frequent visits made by Cornwall's Grey Seals. They are a sight to behold, being fewer in number than the African Elephant. Dophins can also be regularly spotted along this coastline. |

St. Ives
 St. Ives Beach at High TideSt. Ives is one of the best examples of a modern Cornish Seafaring town. St. Ives has maintained it's popularity and charm over the years by remaining quaint, but modernising sufficiently by welcoming many of the nation's most popular restaurants and high street stores. The St. Ives Tate gallery is highly recommended. This wonderful town is only 25 minutes away by car, however if the weather is clear we would strongly recommend taking the train from nearby St. Erth, for the breathtaking views. |  St. Ives BeachAt low tide, St. Ives enjoys the additional sandy recreational space. This is a great area for children to play, while also being perfect for having picnics, ice creams and pasties on the soft sand. |  St. Ives Harbour WallFrom the St. Ives harbour wall, this fantastic bay can be seen from a totally different perspective. Both Hayle beach and Godrevy Lighthouse can be seen on a clear day. |

St. Michael's Mount

The location is rich in history and offers excellent views from both the causeway and the castle. The causeway is the primary method of access, which can only be used at low tide - check online for the expected access times. At high tide, boats can be taken between the mainland and the island. St. Michael's Mount is a 30 minute drive from our chalets! |  St. Michael's MountEnjoy the beautiful and traditional village on your ascent toward the castle. The castle gardens make for a pleasant walk, with ice cream vendors and gift shops present to also enjoy. |  A View From The CastleThere are several vantage points at the top of the Castle, which offer views right across the bay. In this instance, it is low tide and therefore the causeway can be seen. |

Kynance Cove
 Kynance CoveOne of the best coastal walks in the country has to be the path linking 'The Lizzard Point' to 'Kynance Cove'. Kynance Cove boasts spectacular views, and is truly breathtaking in person. The cove is home to beaches, islands and a very nice cafe. The beaches are submerged at high tide, however the cafe can still be accessed using a footpath, which travels up and over the headland. |  Kynance CafeAt the time this image was take, it was approaching high tide and access to the cafe became limited. |  The Coastal PathThere are two parralel paths between the cafe and the car park. One is steeper and more direct, and the other is a longer walk which is wheelchair accessible. |
