Chris and I took the train to Hayle to relive some past memories. The village itself has not changed much except for the arival of ASDA in foundry square in the centre of the village.
A short stroll through to Copperhouse and a short stop to admire Hayle,s scenic estuary
Hayle town is divided into two districts,Copperhouse and Foundry. Both these names reflect Hayle's industrial heritage which dates back to the time when the Phoenicians traded for tin over 2000 years ago. Even earlier, during the Iron Age, Hayle was on the major route to St Michael’s Mount.
Hayle is famed for its three miles of golden sand. The beaches start at the mouth of the estuary, which is regarded as an international quality bird-watching spot. Sightings include avocets, ospreys and a host of wading birds. The roadside verges in this area are good places in which to find wild orchids.
The main reason for the visit to Hayle was for us to revisit some old haunts that hold fond memories.
St Ives Bay Holiday Park was one place that held fond memories for both Chris and I.
The memories of trouble free times drew both of us to this place.
St Ives Bay Holiday Park is a quiet, family friendly site, that has one of the best views of the bay and direct acsess to 3 miles of glourious sandy beach. In my opinion the views of Godrevy and the bay are the best from this location.
As you will see in a future post.
