About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

This is a beautiful place for a family to spend time exploring a reserve that is packed with over 18,000 birds that like to visit as the estuary never freezes. See migrant wading birds including gulls and terns, curlews and oystercatchers. It is the perfect place for a family walk with pushchair friendly paths.

How To Get There

Directions

If travelling away from Penzance on the A30 take the second exit off the St Ives roundabout towards Hayle on B3301 (Carnsew Road). If you’re travelling towards Penzance on the A30 take the third exit off the St Ives roundabout. Continue along the causeway with the estuary to your left and Ryan’s Field on the right. Just after the car wash on the right take a right turn down Chenalls Road, a minor road, signposted St Erth and Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve.
