Helford is a picturesque village on the south side of the Helford River, known for its thatched cottages, village stores, and The Shipwrights Arms pub with a waterside terrace. The area is popular for its proximity to Frenchman's Creek, immortalized by Daphne du Maurier, and the Helford River Sailing Club, which hosts an annual regatta in August. A passenger ferry runs to Helford Passage in the summer, providing access to the Ferryboat Inn and the gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan. The Helford River is a diverse wildlife habitat and a paradise for birdwatchers.
