    Tips

    November 9, 2022

    Frenchman's Creek is a beautiful, but hidden spot on the Helford River, famous for being the inspiration for Daphne Du Maurier's 1942 novel of the same name.

    While walking along the creek, keep a careful watch for wading birds and a shipwreck that is submerged in the mud.

      Gorgeous spot for a picnic. There are a couple of benches sporadically on the walk, and the views of the creek are beautiful. The creek itself is very very muddy when the tide is out (not a problem if you stay on the path as the mud is down the bank), so be aware that dogs/children don't venture off the path and find themselves waist-deep in mud!
