image by Eugene Ipavec, 16 April 2009Hayle (Cornish: Heyl) is a small town, civil parish and cargo port in the
Penwith district of Cornwall, UK. The parish was created in 1888 from part of
the now defunct Phillack parish, with which it was later combined in 1935, and
incorporated part of St Erth in 1937. The modern parish shares boundaries with
St Ives to the west, St Erth to the south, Gwinear and Gwithian in the east, and
is bounded to the north by the Celtic Sea. The town, whose name derives from the
Cornish heyl, meaning estuary, is situated at the southern end of St Ives bay on
the estuary of the Hayle River, approximately 6 miles south-east of the town of
St Ives by road. It has 8,317 residents." - from

council adopted a flag somewhere in 2008, I couldn't locate the exact date. It
can be seen flying on a photo at
