We promise you it is quite by accident, a happy one at that, but The Byre is located between 2 of the more famous and traditional Cornish pubs Perhaps you fancy a refreshing Cornish Ale, an award-winning local sparkling wine, a steak sourced from a farm up the road, or the most delicious, simple earthy plate of yumminess. Spoilt for choice, you are tucked away between two of the most traditional pubs in Cornwall.
A 3 minute walk down the lane, and across a couple of fields to the renowned Gurnard’s Head. A pub yellower than a buttercup, and very difficult not spot a million miles away. Whether you want to sit and enjoy an afternoon espresso in the bar watching the cows walk in for afternoon milking, or perhaps fancy meal in the dining room in the evening, the Gurnards is the perfect solution. If you’re lucky and the sun is shining, a jug of pimms and a good book would be the best way to spend the afternoon sat in the beer garden, having walked from St Ives along the notorious coastal path. Located on the ever so famous B3306, the Gurnards is the perfect spot to stumble upon and loose track of time.
Or the Tinner’s Arms in the village of Zennor. A walk across fields that would take you 10 minutes, with views of the deep Atlantic and dramatic gorse ridden coastline. The pub is like a time warp, as soon as you walk in you feel as though you have gone back in time. Smiley locals are usually perched on a stool at the bar, and on a Thursday evening there is always a folk musician of some sort strumming a guitar. Whether you want to settle next to a roaring fire on a chilly winters’ night, or relax in the beer garden in the sunshine on a balmy July day, the Tinners’ is the answer. Zennor is a place D.H Lawrence once described as, “the most beautiful place, with such a lovely sea, lovelier even than the Mediterranean… It is the best place I have been, i think.”
