Looking from Prussia Cove (Prussia Cove is the area, not an actual cove) towards Kennegy. Tin mine workings exposed on beach and on cliffs above.

At high tide the causeway to the mount is covered and access is by boat. The presence of the mount contributed to the growth of nearby Marazion, which flourished in its shadow and catered for the many pilgrims who came to the Benedictine priory which was built on the summit in 1135.

The Hotel has a fine cloak of ivy. Tregenna Castle is still one of St Ives' best known hotels, and now boasts a golf course amongst its many facilities.

The putting green lies above Porthminster Beach. It was here, on rough sandy banks, that the St Ives pilchard fishing boats of the 19th century were drawn up clear of the beach. St Ives Station can be seen directly behind the boy in the foreground.
