==Geography== Angarrack is in a narrow valley from which the Angarrack River flows before entering the Copperhouse Pool in Hayle, through a specially constructed culvert designed to prevent flooding. However, in January 2003 the flooding was severe enough to be reported on the regional television programme Spotlight. The Angarrack River joins the Hayle Estuary at Copperhouse Pool before running into the sea at St Ives Bay.
