Location
The village is a great base for the coastal walks and gardens of the Helford River, Lizard peninsula and west Cornwall. The lovely sailing town of Falmouth is 20 minutes drive away to the east.
The village has a great network of local footpaths all annotated in a booklet compiled by a great village patron 'Ronnie Rashleigh' we recommend you follow some of his walks including to the nearby 'Blue bell' wood or down to 'Scotts Quay' on the Helford River. The area has a rich history of mining and granite quarrying. Some guides and maps are provided.
The village Spar shop is a minute walk and the Constantine Stores (Post Office) is all of 3 minutes down the hill and sells over 400 whiskies. The village pub is The Queens Arms at the end of the cobbled lane on Fore Street.
A ten minute walk over fields leads down to the Trengilly Wartha. Highly recommended for an evening stroll and stagger back with a torch.
Within 10 minutes drive is Mawnan Smith and the sub tropical gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan (National Trust). 'The Ferry Boat Inn' is an ideal starting place to explore the Helford River, a foot ferry plys across to the Helford village and walks abound from there on.
Sailing and canoeing contacts can be arranged through the Mullaly family when you arrive or in advance.
