| Carbis Bay Postcard |
Carbis Bay is about a mile outside the popular and famous tourist destination of St Ives in Cornwall. It is most well known for the 'Carbis Bay Hotel' and the high picturesque viaducts of the railway. Carbis Bay is a tourist destination in its own right as those who live in more build up areas flock to the towns and villages that make up the near end of the Cornwall peninsula, particularly in spring and summer. The are the usual tales of smugglers, French lace, brandy, rum and wreckers, not to mention tin mines, but it is the non-tourist parts of Cornwall or the run of the mill places that don't feature predominantly on postcard that are perhaps the most interesting and hold some of the best kept secrets.
