The Old Count House is located in a quiet residential area, with private parking and easy access to St Ives town, beaches and Tate Gallery, all of which are within a 5 -10 minute walk. A 'park and ride' scheme operates nearby to save taking your car into town - a great advantage in busy times...
The Old Count House was built from local granite in 1825 and was so named because it was from here that the wages were counted out and paid to the tin miners of Wheal Trenwith.
