Welcome to Hayle.

This is the official website for the Hayle Area. We hope you'll find this site useful in providing links to businesses, community groups, things to do and tourist information.

              

Coming soon - Discover Hayle Map and Website

The go-ahead has been given for Hayle to join Newquay and St Austell in having a Discover Map.  it is funded by Hayle Area Plan, Hayle Town council, Cornwall Council and West Cornwall Local Action Group with additional donations from local business.  The amps carry no advertising and the formats have been standardised to create a "brand".  The Discovery maps:

1.   Are free to all, including every household in the Hayle area

2.  promote car-free exploration of the area (by foot, bicycle, bus, ferry or train) with information on Green Lanes, footpaths, trails, cycle hire and public transport.

3.  highlight the natural beauty of the area - through illustrations and information about local habitats, flora, fauna and shore life.

4.  Encourage sustainable practices - by providing information on recycling, buying local produce and using public transport.

5.  Gives a background to the origins and fascinating histories of the town.

6.  The maps are advert-free and therefore the sustainability message is not seen by the public as being "hijacked" by a commercial interest.

The map is now in the works and will be ready for distribution in December.
