  • I went to St Ives as a child but I forgot how beautiful it really is. Thank you so much for reminding me.
  • St. Ives looks so lovely but I'm guessing it's tourist hell in the summer months. Thanks for sharing, really great video! :)
  • @Zenajs
    Judging by the work in progress at the Pednolva Olva Hotel, you filmed this the day before we arrived! The lovely little birds are called turnstones - I can watch them for hours. Thanks for a super video of one of my favourite Cornish places.
  • St. Ives is really awesome and i like this seaside town here especially the houses and buildings of course with the scenic view of the sea I'm really enjoying Cornwall a lot thanks again and can't wait for your next video have a wonderful week.🇬🇧🤠🇬🇧
  • Hope the beer was nice and cold? The Sloop maybe,which is my favourite such a characterful pub, great restaurant upstairs,Captains Cabin. The Talay Thai is exceptional tasty food. For travel, forget the car,use the park and ride at St Erth and get on the train. For many the best most scenic section of railway in the country. Well done Neil!!
  • Beautiful video of St Ives, thank you for filming it Neil, must be my favourite place in Britain to visit and would be my dream to retire there but would need to win the lottery first lol
  • Yet one more good video. I think the birds are turnstones we saw them 5years ago at a visit.
  • Love St Ives 💜 I have a feather/ bird phobia but those turnstones are so cute; I like to think of them as hamsters with wings😂 it helps me enjoy watching them. Thanks for another great video
  • I’ve been to St Ives many times. It is my favourite place. Thanks for the lovely video, next time you go you must visit Porthmeor beach (especially at sunset) and walk round The Island, in my opinion the most scenic part of St Ives. Not been for 5 years and suffering from st Ives withdrawal symptoms! Glad to see the Beach Restaurant is still on the harbour - one of the best places to eat.

    Great video, thank you! The little birds are Turnstones
  • Hello, the little cute birds are turnstones, love st ives never been but want to
  • @DCBoi
    I've been to St.Ives a few times and fallen in love with the town. Always been amazing weather when I have been there and had great times paddling followed by fish and chips on the seafront. Happy memories ❤
  • @rtj123uk
    Great video thank you. The birds on the harbour are turnstones, so tame
  • @bexhil7
    Another great video of ST IVES CORNWALL | Full seafront tour of the holiday seaside town of St Ives have been there when i use to Penzance!.
  • Really enjoyed this. My parents loved it here and made the overnight drive down, every year for our holidays. Happy memories. If you do make a return visit you need to explore the back streets with all the old fishermens cottages, quite a few have unusual names. As for a boat trip, i strongly recommend a trip with Wavedancer which is owned by a good friend of mine who is one of the lifeboat crew and very knowledgeable about the area.
  • Loved this. My husband was born in South Devon, his mother was Cornish and he spent so much of his childhood in Cornwall fhat he just isn't interested in going back for a holiday. I would love to go to St Ives it looks magical, so thank you for taking me there.
