Porthia
is very conveniently situated, being halfway along the street leading
to 'The Island', also known as 'St Ives Head', (see aerial view and
'Additional Pictures'), the headland with a tiny chapel on its peak,
which divides the town's two main beaches, Porthmeor (great for
surfing) and Porthgwidden. It is also a short walk away from a car park
(weekly tickets available). St Ives' harbour, specialist craft and
antique shops, pubs, restaurants and internationally famous art
galleries, including the New Tate, are within easy walking distance and
the surrounding area provides an almost endless variety of visitor
attractions - the Land's End & Lizard peninsulas, St Michael' s
Mount (N.T) and the Helford River, with many beautiful coves, headlands
and landmarks to explore on foot or by car.
Porthia is a ground floor apartment within a traditional granite
fisherman's cottage. Recently refurbished by its owner, it is bright
and attractively decorated, providing an ideal base for a couple
wishing to explore this lively seaside town with its warren of narrow
cobbled streets and superb beaches. |
