Lelant is where the estuary joins St Ives Bay. This historic
village lies just
inland from the sandy shores of the Estuary and RSPB
Sanctuary.
The village’s Norman Church stands above the mouth of the
river and adjoins the attractive West Cornwall Golf Club.
Lelant
was the home of the famous novelist
Rosamund Pilcher

Shell Seekers and Coming Home and also the artist
John Miller whose most famous paintings were inspired
by the Hayle estuary and bay.
