St Ives

Administrative Port: Newlyn
County: Cornwall
Population: St Ives

St Ives is a seaside town and port in Cornwall, England. The town lies north of Penzance and west of Camborne on the coast of the Celtic Sea. In former times it was commercially dependent on fishing. In medieval times St Ives was the most important fishing port on the north coast, and in the 18th and 19th century witnessed huge landings of pilchards. The decline in fishing, however, caused a shift in commercial emphasis and the town is now primarily a popular holiday resort, notably achieving the title of Best UK Seaside Town from the British Travel Awards in both 2010 and 2011.
