Gwithian Cornwall Map

About Gwithian

Gwithian's embrace of the Cornish coast offers a singular charm. It lies 4.8 km north-north-east of Hayle (from Hayle: bearing 32°T, OS grid SW 586 411), and is situated north-north-east of Upton Towans village. Here, the land slopes gently towards the expansive sands of St. Ives Bay, where the sea's breath is a constant presence, carrying the tang of salt and the distant cries of gulls. The village itself, a scattering of cottages with walls often whitewashed to catch the bright West Country sunlight, seems to have grown organically from the dunes, its lanes winding like ancient pathways carved by generations who understood the ebb and flow of tide and season. The broad sweep of the horizon, where sky meets sea in a shimmering, often cerulean line, lends a sense of spaciousness to Gwithian, a feeling that the world here is both vast and intimately known.
