Location

Trowan Vean is approached via a private lane in the small rural hamlet of Trowan which is located on the fringes of St Ives enjoying far reaching views over open farmland towards the Atlantic Ocean. There are twelve properties in total to include family homes and holiday cottages. A footpath from the hamlet descends to the centre of St Ives and links with the coastal path.

Cornwall’s unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. Home to the landmark Tate St Ives Gallery (built in 1993) and the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum, St Ives is bordered by three beautiful sandy beaches which are repeatedly voted among the best in the British Isles, one particularly for surfing. Set against the colourful backdrop of the working fishing harbour, the turquoise waters of St. Ives have attracted artists since the 19th century due to its renowned clarity of light. The town, with winding cobbled streets, is also a ‘foodie’ destination packed with numerous restaurants, pubs and cafes all offering excellent fare including the award-winning Porthminster Beach Café.

At nearby Lelant, overlooking the Hayle Estuary there is a spectacular links golf course with views stretching up towards Godrevy Lighthouse. A scenic branch railway line links Carbis Bay and St. Ives with the main London-Penzance line at nearby St. Erth.
