The Helford River is the soft side of the Lizard, far removed
from the ragged cliffs and treeless heath. Here you can find secluded
villages, sub-tropical gardens and waterside taverns where you can relax
and watch the river flow. Take one look at the mysterious winding inlet
of Frenchman's Creek, and you'll know why Daphne du Maurier used it as
the setting for her romantic tale of piracy and smuggling. The creek is
best reached by a footpath, indeed much of the area can only be enjoyed
on foot. Explore by car and you'll get mere tantalising glimpses of this
tranquil wooded river-world. Peaceful villages stowaway in the folds of
this landscape. Explore Helford, with its riverside inn; the ancient churches
of Mawgan, Manaccan and St Anthony; and Gweek, once a Roman port, today
a charming clutter of boatyards and quays, and home to the renowned Seal
Sanctuary. From the pretty villages of Constantine and Mawgan, you can
meander down gladed footpaths to creeks such as Porth Navas or Polwheveral
with their oyster beds and yacht moorings.
