Phillack

Phillack sits quietly in the parish of Hayle in west Cornwall, a village just about one mile (1.6 km) northeast of Hayle and roughly half a mile (0.8 km) inland from St Ives Bay on Cornwall’s Atlantic coast. Although close to the sea, the village is held back from the shoreline by The Towans, a striking range of high sand dunes that form a natural barrier and frame long coastal views. With the postcode district TR27, Phillack belongs to the county of Cornwall in England’s South West region and feels like a restful pocket of Cornish life within easy reach of Hayle. Its sheltered position, tucked behind sweeping dunes, makes for a quietly scenic base from which to appreciate the Atlantic setting and the nearby parish. Arriving from Hayle or the bay, visitors find a place that combines accessibility with an understated coastal charm, its landscape defined by the presence of The Towans between village and sea.
