| St Ives Market Place |
|
Market Place is at the top of Fore Street, A long, gently sloping, narrow throroughfare lined on either side with shops. As well as art and craft galleries, clothing and surf shops, you'll find bakeries and restaurants, but if you're looking for lunch, head right and stroll along Wharf Road which runs along the bay and is mostly pubs, bars and restaurants. From this vantage point you get a pretty good view of the tower of St Ives Parish Church and the War memorial. You'll find the major banks in the High Street up past the Golden Lion pub. |
