St Erth Church

Highlight • Religious Site

St Erth Church is a Grade I-listed place of worship in a picturesque position next to the River Hayle. The church was built in the 15th century, underwent restoration in 1747 and was partially rebuilt in 1872-73. However, the exterior of the church remains intact and is a fine example of a granite-built church from this era.

The Bucket of Blood Pub

Highlight • Pub

You might not usually need a pub on a run, but this one is worth looking out for purely for its gruesome name, 'Bucket of Blood'. As a smuggling area, legend has it that a bucket of blood was pulled up from the well after a customs official was killed and his body tossed in it. Others say the murder victim was a smuggler. Look out for the well. It's still there just near the pub. Are you brave enough to look in...?

Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve is managed by the RSPB and is the most westerly estuary in the country. The warm climate means it doesn't freeze over so it is a place of great safety during harsh winters.

Each year around 18000 birds migrate to the estuary and the RSPB are helping to ensure this area is protected for their use.
