Driving Directions

When you reach St. Ives drive through the town centre. Once in Market Place there is a one-way system. Opposite the LION pub follow the one-way system to the left and go around the shops in the middle as if they were on a roundabout. As you go around the buildings you will pass FORE STREET (cobbled street), but you need to head towards the harbour as you can only enter Fore Street from the opposite direction as it is one-way.

Carry on along the harbour front and follow the road until you see the SLOOP car park - turn left into FORE STREET just before the SLOOP CAR PARK. Go up the street past WOOLWORTHS on your left. Carry on another 20 yards and you will see THE YELLOW CANARY CAFE (12 FORE STREET) on your right hand side where the key for SEA HORSE FLAT will be waiting for you. The flat is just diagonally opposite (17a FORE STREET) above a gift shop called "Sparkles".

Parking directions

Once you have unloaded your luggage at Sea Horse Flat, drive to the end of FORE STREET, turn left and go back onto the Harbour. Follow the signs for 'outbound traffic' i.e. go past the SLOOP PUB and turn immediately left into FISH STREET, follow the road up the hill and bear left at the junction. At the next junction turn left and follow the road, which will eventually lead you to the beach and past the TATE GALLERY. Keep going until you start going up a steep hill (PORTHMEOR HILL). Half way up the hill turn right into WESTWARD ROAD. Continue to a tarmac carpark on the right hand side called "Trelowena Car Park". Park outside the car park adjacent to the railings. Please park as close to the railings as possibe so that traffic can move easily in the road. Please do not park on the opposite side of the road.

To return to SEAHORSE FLAT walk to the end of WESTWARD ROAD, turn left and walk back down PORTHMEOR HILL. Follow the road back along the beach and past the TATE GALLERY. At BUMBLES TEA ROOM turn right into THE DIGEY. At the end of THE DIGEY turn right and you will be back in FORE STREET once again.
