Jubilee Pool

Posted by wrote 5 July 2010

A beautiful Art Deco lido to be found across the Cornish moors, on the tail of the country. It was reopened on the 25th of May and is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Sat among its whitewashed walls it’s easy to forget which country you are in and equally hard to care. With a poolside café that looks to St. Michaels Mount and the route of the passenger ferries bound for the Scilly isles. I lay at its reopening, eating bread and cheese and imagined I was on Tracey Island.

Western Discoveries

Posted by rap199 14 August 2009

I enjoyed a superb six-day walking holiday from St Ives to the Lizard with Western Discoveries. The customer service was lovely, the B&Bs very friendly and everything had a great personal touch. Russ, who runs the company, even took us out to see some of the region's stone monuments.

If you want to see the beautiful coastline of West Cornwall, I would recommend using Western Discoveries.

Art gallery at the top of the nicest and oldest street in town - Chapel Street. Lovely gallery space, a bit of a tardis as it reaches backwards and upwards over three floors. We turned up with walking boots and a muddy dog only to be welcomed in with open arms (the owners dog sits under her desk). A great variety of work inside by established well known artists as well as some younger recent graduates. A great stop off for anyone interested in art
