Hotel in Cornwall: St Ives Local History
Both the Purespot and St Ives has a very interesting history, St Ives has been around since 5th century and we would say that the first people who settled here loved the views just as much as we do today.
St Ives throughout history has been known famously for it fishing and huge wealth of artists who came here to draw inspiration from the wonderful views, although the fishing has mainly died down here now you can still see some local fishermen hauling in their catch at the harbour right out of your bedroom window.
St Ives still plays host to a wealth of artist who come and draw inspiration from the town, the view has been painted hundreds if not thousands of times over the years and still provides inspiration to poets, writers, artists and many other creative people to this day.
