The Badger Inn is sandwiched between St Ives and Hayle in West Cornwall, on a winding, hilly coastal road above stone harbours and broiling sea.
Built as the Lelant Arms in 1899, the pub has served thousands of local folk, from fishermen to miners, not to mention the stream of tourists who flock to Cornwall each year. There’s one former patron that eclipses all: Virginia Woolf who visited on Christmas Eve in 1909.
