In fact it’s easy to imagine how even Virginia Woolf was so inspired by the region that she wrote ‘To The Lighthouse’ whilst staying here in what was perhaps one of her time’s holiday cottages. St Ives has also inspired the likes of Barbara Hepworth, one of the most important female artists in British history, whose house has now been converted into a museum celebrating her life’s work by the Tate St Ives.
