THE WAITS, ST IVES
The Waits offer one of the most attractive historic settings in St Ives, overlooking the River Great Ouse and the picturesque Holt Island. Now a peaceful residential area, it has long been closely linked to the town’s development.
St Ives began as the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Slepe, growing around an important river crossing that encouraged trade. By the medieval period, it had become a thriving market town, with fairs and markets drawing visitors from across the region.
Its riverside location placed The Waits at the heart of this activity. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the town prospered through river trade, with goods and livestock transported along the Great Ouse. The area later developed into an elegant residential setting, with many period properties dating from around 1800 still contributing to its character today.
