THE LOCATION
The Helford River is one of the most beautiful and un-spoilt rivers in Cornwall, with hidden creeks that cut inland along this sheltered part of the south Cornwall coast. It was renowned as a haven for pirates and inspired many writers, famously Daphne du Maurier with ‘Frenchman’s Creek’. The Helford River continues to offer sailing facilities and a wonderful natural harbour from which to explore the Cornish coast, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust. There are many fine coastal walks and creek paths. Nearby are the gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah. Mawnan Smith approximately 1.7 miles enjoys village shops, a doctor’s surgery, restaurants and churches. In addition, there is an extensive range of shopping and commercial facilities at Falmouth and Truro with a direct rail link to London Paddington from Truro. Newquay airport is approximately 32.8 miles away and has regular flights both to London and other European destinations.
