About

Gwinear-Gwithian & Hayle East ward encompasses a stretch of Cornwall's north coast, featuring the expansive three-mile beach of Gwithian Towans. This area includes the village of Connor Downs and extends inland through the parish of Gwinear, characterised by agricultural land and residential settlements. The ward borders the tidal estuary of the River Hayle, a significant natural feature separating it from the town of Hayle proper.

The landscape is defined by coastal dunes, heathland, and farmland. The area is part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the Godrevy Headland and its lighthouse visible across the bay. Local geography is shaped by the historic mining industry, with remnants like the Hayle Harbour complex influencing the eastern boundary.
