A Timeless Cornish Gem set on the Helford River

Hire a boat, dinghy, kayak or paddleboard and get on the water. You can rent boats from Helford River Boats which is 10 minutes away by water and from Sailaway who will deliver to the club.

Learn to sail with the Helford River Children’s Sailing Trust.

Explore Trebah and Glendurgan gardens.

On the water you can visit the Ferry Boat Inn at Helford Passage and the Shipwrights Arms in Helford – both are great pubs.

Off the water there’s the wonderful Trengilly Wartha pub just outside Constantine and the beautiful Potager Garden and Café (vegetarian).

The Black Swan at Gweek is another good pub. Also at Gweek is the Seal Sanctuary which is a great visit for smaller kids.

The Budock Vean Hotel has a swimming pool open to non-residents, a nine hole golf course and tennis courts.  It also has a restaurant.

If you like a tipple don’t miss Constantine Stores in Constantine.  Looks like a small village grocery shop and yet is an Aladdin’s cave for whiskey, wine and any spirit you care to mention.
