1940s 1946 Cornwall June Ramble Rambling St Ives Summer Village
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in June 1946, the picturesque village of Towednack in Cornwall, near the popular seaside town of St Ives, is showcased from the lofty vantage point of Trendrine Hill. The scene is bathed in the golden light of summer, with the verdant rolling hills and lush greenery providing a stunning backdrop to the quaint village below. At the heart of the village, the ancient Parish Church of St Piran, dedicated to the patron saint of Cornwall, stands proudly among the traditional Cornish cottages with their whitewashed walls and thatched roofs. The church, with its distinctive bell tower, has been a landmark for travellers for centuries, drawing visitors to this beautiful corner of Cornwall. This photograph was taken during a time when the countryside was beginning to recover from the hardships of the Second World War. The image was captured to promote the beauty and accessibility of the Cornish countryside, encouraging people to explore the region on foot using the extensive network of footpaths and the reliable railway services provided by the Great Western Railway (GWR). The rambling opportunities in and around Towednack and St Ives were a popular draw for visitors seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tranquil atmosphere of the village and the surrounding countryside, combined with the rich history and cultural heritage, continue to attract visitors to Towednack and St Ives today. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder of the enduring appeal of the Cornish Riviera and the joy of discovering hidden gems in the great outdoors.
