Many years ago, Helford village was an important port where trading ships brought rum, tobacco and lace from the continent. These days, it’s hard to imagine the sleepy village to be so bustling. The River Helford is one of the most unspoiled waterways in Cornwall, with its deep valleys, ancient oak forests and hidden creeks.

A small village with thatched houses. If you have time, you can watch the tide change in the bay.

Now a sleepy village, Helford was once a bustling port trading in tobacco, rum and lace. The thatched houses and views of the Helford River make it a delight to run through.
