St. Ives is, perhaps, the most popular holiday resort destination in Cornwall. It survives today on tourism, but it was once dependent on fishing, principally pilchards. These boats are a reminder of that past.

Cornwall–Gyllyngdune Gardens
Gyllyngdune Gardens are a few minutes walk from downtown Falmouth. The gardens are now a Falmouth park but once were part of an an earlier estate. The park has attractive formal gardens, a bandstand and a grotto. This photograph is of the monolithic arch which was erected to complement the domed seat of the grotto. It was done in the manner of Stonehenge, probably because of the interest in antiquities at the time.
