Truro is the only city in Cornwall, its Cathedral towering above the skyline with its green spire and gothic aesthetic. The Cathedral was built at the start of the 1900s 250 feet in the sky with great big Victorian stained glass windows and the south aisle is one of the finest pieces of medieval architecture in Cornwall. Originally a market town and port way back over 800 years and boomed with the rest of Cornwall during the tin mining era.
Bamaluz Beach is located in the heart of St Ives and is one of the lesser known beaches, situated between the harbour and Porthgwidden. The beach offers sheltered cover with high walls which can also block out the sun, the only thing at high tide there is a small beach left which can fit no more than maybe 15 people on and in spring it can almost disappear from your very own eyes. This beach is also just below the famous St Ives Museum. Bamaluz is a fairly friendly family beach but there is no lifeguard cover or much room for the children to play and there isn’t really any surf here apart from when there’s big northerly Atlantic swells.
