Things To Do near HayleFound where the Hayle River meets the wide sweep of St Ives Bay, Hayle is so steeped in the unique mining history of Cornwall that it has been designated part of the Cornish World Heritage Site. Hayle is perhaps more famous these days for its incredibly long beach, an enormous stretch of sand that runs three miles northwards from the mouth of the river. The estuary is a paradise for ‘twitchers’ with sightings of rare birds such as avocets and ospreys recorded. More »

Tregonning Hill
King-of-the-castle views from coast to coast. Tregonning Hill is steeped in history. Surveying the views across the surrounding countryside and out to sea, it is obvious why the Celts once chose this place to settle. In more recent times, Tregonning has played its part in the long-standing relationship between Cornishmen and the land, as the place where china clay was discovered in around 1745. Start in the village of Balwest (off the A394 Helston-Penzance road) and head for the Germoe war memorial, which sits on top of remains of the Celtic settlement.

Hayle King George V Memorial Walk
This level walk runs alongside the Copperhouse tidal pool, a reminder of Hayle's heyday during the Industrial Revolution which is now home to a rich variety of birdlife. The trail, about three quarters of a mile long, goes through former GWR land which was landscaped and planted as part of Hayle's Millenium Project and won gold in the South West in Bloom competition. Go on a Sunday during the summer, when the route is closed to vehicles, to enjoy a totally traffic-free stroll.
