Hayle and St. Ives (including Carbis Bay) are the main settlements within this area, and act as the local service centres to the smaller settlements surrounding them. Larger villages in the area include Connor Downs and St. Erth whereas smaller villages include Carnhell Green, Gwinear, Gwithian, Halsetown, Lelant, Nancledra, Reawla and Towednack.

Cornish Language & Names in Family Research
TALK TO THE CORNISH INTERESTS MEETING 17th June, 2000 THE CORNISH LANGUAGE AND NAMES IN FAMILY RESEARCH Dohajéth da. Hedhyu mý a vyn clappya yn-kever an Yéth Gernewek coth ha keltek. Pyth dysquedhyans a'n Yéth Gernewek a vynnas bos gwelas war ün vysytya dhe Pow Kernow? Good afternoon. Today I will talk about the ancient Celtic Cornish language. What evidence of the Cornish language would be seen on a visit to Cornwall? OK, you may be fortunate enough to attend a church service in Cornish at Truro Cathedral, or seeking out a relaxing place after a hard day’s touring you may stumble upon a small group in a pub talking animatedly in Cornish. The main contact however will of course be in names: People names. We’ve talked about that before here. And Place Names How are Cornish place names different to English place names? Saying "By tre, pol and pen shall ye know most Cornishmen" Cornwall has noticeably different place names from neighbouring England (about 80% of place names in Cornwall are derived from the Celtic Cornish language, most of the remainder being either from English or Norman French. These names are similar in many respects to Welsh and Breton names (Cornish, Breton and Welsh languages are closely related). Examples: Landevennec (Brittany) and Landewednak (Cornwall); Pendine (Wales), Pendeen (Cornwall). What are Cornish Place Names like? Typically, Cornish place names start with elements such as tre (settlement), pol (pool or lake) and pen (hill). Unlike English place names, Cornish ones are structured in 'reverse order' by comparison with English place names.
