"You can't say that, in St Ives!" Is it worth visiting St Ives? A historical Town walk, Cornwall

NB: We filmed this walk prior to the lockdown rules coming into force.

Follow us as we use a Bob Acton walking guide to explore St Ives!

Bob Acton was a local author writing detailed history books, mostly focussed on Cornish Mining. This walk tells us all about history of St Ives, dusted with details that we have been guilty of walking past without a second thought - do you know where they used to dye cloth in St Ives?

A beautiful sunny spring day is the backdrop for our stroll through the narrow, winding streets, visiting Porthmeor Beach and St Nicholas Chapel. Busy and bustling, even out of season, St Ives is a wonderful place to visit.

NB: We have had a lot of comments pulling us up on the way I pronounced 'Digey'. This has lead to some 'ugly' comments which we have deleted. We are both Cornish and since making videos for our channel, we have discovered that simply 'being Cornish' does not mean that you are able to correctly pronounce every place name or street name in Cornwall, only that you are better equipped than most to have a good stab at it. We apologise for any mispronunciation and would appreciate a little tolerance and no more ugly comments. Many thanks Sarah
