Primrose Valley is a Proper Cornish Cutie

Where: Porthminster Beach, St Ives, Cornwall, United Kingdom, TR26 2ED

Cornwall will be raking it in this summer. Not only are the Brits going hard for the whole staycation thing (even though it still costs way more to stay in the UK than it does in Europe, and the weather ain’t exactly on a par), but it’s just been named top UK destination by a survey commissioned for Travelodge as well.

Not that we’d necessarily recommend you stay in a Travelodge if you make it down there (and well done if you do, because you’re looking at four hours and counting on the train), because the point of Cornwall is that it’s cute and tiny.

One of the most obviously charming places is St Ives. Its chocolate-box setting and extraordinary light have made it a big deal for artists (though the branch of London’s Tate Gallery there isn’t much cop).
