There are a few options to consider. If you’re flying in, the closest major airport is Newquay Cornwall Airport, located about 40 miles (about 64 km) away. From there, you can hop on a bus or arrange for a taxi to take you to St Ives.
Alternatively, you can also fly into Exeter Airport or Bristol Airport and take a scenic drive along the coast to reach this coastal gem.
If you’re traveling by train, St Ives has its own railway station. Trains run regularly from major cities like London, Bristol, and Birmingham, offering a convenient and comfortable way to reach this seaside haven. Once you arrive, the station is just a short walk from the town center, making it super easy to start exploring.
