Helston
An ancient market town built on two hills, Helston has much to offer the tourist. Round about 8th May each year there is the world famous festival known as Flora Day, otherwise "Furry Day" with its picturesque "Furry Dance", in which long lines of people with their hands joined make their way with rhythmic motion through the streets and indeed the houses also. The custom is by some authorities considered to be a survival of the Roman occupation.
Helston is ideally situated for anyone exploring the west of the county, with the Lizard, Penzance, Falmouth and Truro all within easy access. Other local attractions include the Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose famous for its air-sea rescue helicopters, Goonhilly earth satellite station and Flambard's Theme Park.
