Location
Chy Mor is in the village of Phillack, perfectly located behind the dunes looking over the Hayle Towans beach, Cornwall’s longest sandy beach which stretches all the way to Godrevy Lighthouse, along with panoramic views across the bay to St Ives The beach is popular with swimmers, surfers and kite and wind surfers alike. Local amenities include two pubs, The Bluff Inn and the Bucket of Blood, The Cove Café, only a few hundred metres away, and a well-stocked Mini Market.
The town of Hayle, just two miles away, lies at the start of the Penwith region of Cornwall at the narrowest point between the north and south coasts. Marazion and Penzance, where good sailing facilities can be found, are only a 20 minute drive away to the south, whilst St Ives is world famous for its art galleries, including the Tate St Ives, restaurants and surfing beaches.
Hayle itself is currently undergoing a regeneration process with one of the South West’s largest building projects underway at North Quay. Once complete North Quay will have 500 properties, two cinemas, restaurants, shops, an art gallery and better infrastructure for the fishing community. Hayle benefits from a wide range of local restaurants, shops including banks, general stores and supermarkets with a large Boots and Marks and Spencer, off the A30 roundabout, as well as a small hospital.
The rugged beauty of the Penwith area is well known to walkers and birdwatchers and the Links West Cornwall Golf Club at Lelant draws visitors from across Britain. The area is very well served by transport links with a mainline railway station found in Hayle on the Penzance to Paddington line.
Hayle Academy is a coeducational secondary school and is sponsored by the excellent Truro and Penwith Academy Trust
