Once belonging to Sir Edward Hain MP, Morveren House combines beautiful views with handsome architecture and an idyllic setting just outside St Ives.
The Penwith Peninsula has been synonymous with art for decades, with generations of painters flocking to an area that combined beautiful sea views with a rare quality of light. John Miller and Kurt Jackson are perhaps the ones whose work is most recently tied to the local landscape but the list of Cornish made artwork ranges from Barbara Hepworth’s sculptures to Terry Frost’s abstract work.
