This is Barbara Hepworth's former home, studio and garden in St Ives, where she lived and worked from 1949 until her death in 1975. You can wander through the garden she laid out herself, seeing bronzes placed just as she positioned them, and explore her life and work through audio story players. It suits art lovers and anyone curious about twentieth-century British sculpture. The museum is open daily from 10.00 to 17.20, though there's no on-site car park, so it's best reached on foot. It sits in St Ives, Cornwall, just 0.2 miles from Porthmeor beach and 0.3 miles from St Ives station, with 86 bookable places to stay nearby on BritStays.
