Hayle
The town is proud of its three
miles old golden sands which attract many thousands of visitors every year.
The Towans, Cornish for sand dunes, stand proud for all to see and are a rich
source of wildlife and offer enjoyable coastal walks. There is a lighthouse
at Godrevy Point where marvellous cliff walks can take you all the way to
Hell’s Mouth.
St Erth
Picturesque village on the River Hayle, navigable in the 16th Century up to
the ancient bridge where the 14th Century church stands. Medieval lantern-head
cross in the village square.
Lelant
Charming village at the estuary of the Hayle river with long stretches of
sand and dunes, linking with Carbis Bay to which there are lovely walks. The
estuary itself is an important bird-watching site.
Once the principal market and port for the area. Its 15th Century church at
the edge of the dunes mark its history as a religious centre. The West Cornwall
Golf Club is also situated on the dunes there.
