Chilling Out in St Ives With Ben’s Family (and some travel tips)

For years, Ben has talked about taking me to St. Ives in Cornwall, England. He used to live there back in the day for a couple of years and actually loved it so much that he lived there and drove to Reading each day for work at Microsoft (he’s a beach bum!). St Ives is (so far) the prettiest place I’ve seen in England and the water on the coast is so clear and blue, you wouldn’t really guess it’s in England at all.

Ben took this photo!

Ben was really excited when this year his family decided to do their holiday in St. Ives! His mom, sister (Emma), her husband (Craig), his brother (Josh), and his girlfriend (Tamsin), as well as his little bro (Max), were all there. It was a fun and boozy time as always with them!

Getting to St Ives

You can take the train to St Ives from London, no problem. I suggest downloading an app like rome2rio to find the best routes with public transportation.

You can also drive which is what Ben and I did. We rented an adorable mini cooper from
