This family run local pub can be found at the corner of the A3073, just as you turn into Church Road going toward Brewery Hill. It's a friendly pub that welcomes families and has an excellent all-round menu. There is a garden where you can sit out to eat and drink in the summer.

Hayle estuary - RSPB reserve
Lelant is a wonderful place for bird watching, and The Flat is perfectly positioned to enjoy the local bird population. The garden runs directly down on to the RSPB's Hayle Estuary. It's the most south-westerly estuary in the United Kingdom and thus a particularly good place to watch birds even in autumn and winter, as it never freezes!

It is important for migrating and wintering wildfowl (wigeons, teals and shelducks) and wading birds (dumins, curlew and grey plovers). The estuary is open at all times.

St Uny Church
The church of St Uny Lelant, is said to be the burial place of the saint (a brother of St Herygh) whose name it bears. The church was given to the monastery of Tywardreth in the reign of Richard I.
