really does take some topping.
Tucked in beside a grand curve of coastline, with a jumble of slate roofs, narrow lanes and
golden beaches, it's quite simply one of Cornwall's most beautiful sights. The town is fam-
ous for its artistic connections, too: Barbara Hepworth established an artists' colony here in
the 1930s, and the town is still home to a wealth of studios, galleries and workshops - not
to mention the historic Leach Pottery studio and the renowned Tate St Ives.
