About
About Hayle
Hayle is a port town and civil parish in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated at the mouth of the Hayle River (which discharges into St Ives Bay) and is approximately seven miles (11 km) northeast of Penzance.
The modern town of Hayle dates from the 18th century but there has been activity on this site since the Bronze Age when traders used the port for its safe anchorage. Hayle is famous for its association with the Cornish industry of mining and was once an important port for the exporting of copper ore in the 19th century. Equally famous for engineering, the Harvey family had a foundry in Hayle dating from the 1770s - hence the formation of the two distinct sides of town: Copperhouse and Foundry, of which Hayle can still be loosely divided into today.
