Goonhilly Earth Station was once the largest satellite earth station in the world and has played a pivotal role in communications systems. The first dish, known as Arthur was constructed in 1962 to communicate with Telestar, the first active communication satellite. More than 60 antennas were present by 2006. No longer owned by BT, the site is being run by a private company to develop deep-space communication.

Port Navas creek is one of 7 creeks which feed into the Helford River (the most famous of the creeks is Frenchman's creek which features in Daphe Du Maurier's novel). The creek was used in the 19th century to transport granite from the quarries around Constantine. Now there are commercial oyster beds within the creek.

Gweek village green is a great spot to stop for a picnic beside the creek. There are benches to sit and enjoy the creekside views. The village store is not far from here. Gweek is the head of the Helford River and was once a thriving port. Mining ore was exported from Gweek, and coal and timber were imported for the mines. There used to be a tin smelting house and processing plant for pilchards. The creek has silted up since being a busy port. Now, Gweek is better known for the National Seal Sanctuary.

Glendurgan Garden is a subtropical garden and wooded valley leading to the Helford River. The garden is full of native and exotic plants, which thrive in the mild climate and sheltered position. The cherry laurel maze is a great place for kids and adults. The gardens are now owned by the National Trust. Facilities include parking, a tearoom, toilets and a book shop.

Maenporth beach is a popular sandy cove, located a couple of miles west of Falmouth. At low tide there are rock pools which are great for exploring. The cove is in a sheltered location, but please note that there is no lifeguard cover. Facilities include parking, toilets, a café and a restaurant behind the beach. There is also a water sports hire place.
