Helford Passage nestles on the banks of the beautiful river Helford, with a sandy beach and direct access to the South West Coastal Path. There’s plenty to do at nearby Helford Passage, including hire of kayaks or paddle boards to get you out on the water, and two beaches offering the usual seaside fun. The Ferryboat Inn specialises in seafood dishes and holds regular music and quiz nights. The local ferry can take you across to pretty Helford village where you can meander along the shore to explore Daphne Du Maurier’s Fisherman’s Creek.
Lawn to the front of the property, and paved area to the side and rear with table and chairs. Private shed for storing paddle boards, wetsuits, bikes etc.
Lying on the wooded banks of the Helford River is the little hamlet of Helford Passage. Located between Falmouth and the Lizard Peninsular, it is arguably one of the most picturesque estuaries in the county and deserves its title of the ‘jewel in Cornwall’s crown’.
Whitewashed cottages line a small sheltered beach where colourful boats anchor on the sand. Right on the edge of the beach sits the famous Ferry Boat Inn, a cosy 300-year-old pub with a terrace overlooking the water and a toasty open fire come winter. Being so close to the water, The Ferry Boat serves delicious, freshly caught seafood, as well as an array of pub classics. Helford Passage is also home to a brilliant little gift shop, Shop @ the Beach, where you can pick up unique, handmade and locally produced gifts to remind you of your holiday.
The best way to spend your Helford River holiday is in, on or by the water! Hop on the passenger ferry and cross the river to the little village of Helford, or hire kayaks and explore the many creeks and inlets of the river, including Frenchman’s Creek, immortalised by Daphne du Maurier’s novel. Try your hand at paddle boarding, set sail on a dinghy or grab a snorkel and mask and discover life below the water. If you’d rather stay on dry land, nothing beats the simple pleasure of dangling a crab line into the water to see how many crusty creatures you can collect.
Two of Cornwall’s prettiest gardens, Trebah and Glendurgan, line the banks of the Helford River and offer great days out for all the family. Run by the National Trust, Glendurgan’s myriad of subtropical valleys are filled with exotic plants, an impressive maze and a giant rotating rope swing, while Trebah Gardens span over four miles with adventure playgrounds, childrens trails and an amphitheatre where you can catch music, dance, theatre and comedy performances.
The South West Coast Path runs alongside the Helford River, offering miles of breathtaking coastal walks. If you’re feeling energetic, head east through Trebah and Glendurgan gardens, following the headland for a four mile walk to Maenporth beach. Keep an eye out for the vibrant array of wildlife, including kingfishers, little egrets, herons and cormorants.
When it comes to beach days, you’re spoilt for choice. As well as the pretty cove at Helford Passage, Durgan, Castle, Maenporth, Swanpool and Gyllyngvase beach are all within five miles. Within a ten minute drive, you’ll reach the bustling maritime town of Falmouth, home to the National Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle and a vibrant array of cafés, bars, restaurants, shops and art galleries.
