Salt House enjoys immediate access to the beautiful coastal path on Hain Walk that leads within minutes to some of Cornwall’s most beautiful white sandy beaches in St Ives and Carbis Bay. The captivating coast of St Ives is something very special. The pretty harbour town is surrounded on three sides by golden sandy beaches that gives rise to a unique phenomenon, the St Ives light, which is particularly stunning due to the reflective quality of the combined sea and sand. This lighting has drawn and inspired artists for centuries and is a big reason why St Ives is known as the creative capital of The Duchy of Cornwall. The stunning landscape can be discovered on foot, by car or boat, and a myriad of adventures await. For those who enjoy watersports, the area is fantastic for a range of surfing, kayaking, sailing, snorkelling, stand up paddle boarding and Hawaiian canoeing, with local centres arranging equipment hire and lessons.
St Ives is one of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns with narrow streets, tight-packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the iconic Tate Gallery and world famous Barbara Hepworth Museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more. Several sea fishing trips also leave from the harbour daily. With its semi-Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is Cornwall’s premier holiday resort. With something to offer visitors all year-round including food and music festivals, art and cookery classes, Christmas markets and the legendary new year festivities and fireworks displays.
The surrounding area in Cornwall also has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous seaside, coastal and cliffside walks, the unique cliffside setting of the Minack theatre, the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula and Great Britain’s most southerly ‘Lizard point’, are all within easy reach. Cyclists can choose between the Cornish Way and the First and Last trails, and golfers will love the West Cornwall Golf Club. The nearby Geevor Tin Mine offers a fascinating insight into Cornwall’s mining heritage. A superb destination!
