Romantic Weekends in St. Ives (Cornwall)

Standing high above the sea with nothing between you and America, this area of Cornwall offers the best views in the world and is the perfect setting for a romantic proposal!

As gateway to the romantic west country, this peaceful market town makes the perfect getaway from the city, where shopping can be combined with visits to Glastonbury Abbey and Glastonbury Tor.
