The Helford is a hidden, wooded river estuary on Cornwall’s south coast, its sheltered creeks and quiet villages like Helford and Helford Passage giving it a softer, more secretive character than the open coast nearby.
Beyond the water, the area is known for oyster beds, riverside pubs, and the Frenchman’s Creek scenery immortalised in Daphne du Maurier’s novel of the same name.
