River Hayle

The River Hayle (Cornish: Heyl, meaning estuary) is a small river in west Cornwall, which flows into St Ives Bay at Hayle on Cornwall's Atlantic coast.
The River Hayle is approx 12 miles long and it rises south-west of Crowan village. Its course is west for approx 5 miles (which brings the river to within 3 miles of the south coast at Marazion on Mount's Bay). It then flows through a steep wooded valley north of the granite high ground at Trescowe Common, formerly a mining area, before turning abruptly north near the hamlet of Relubbus. It then follows a northerly course for the remaining six miles to the estuary and passes St Erth.
