Nearby Port Navas was known as ‘Cove’ until the 19th Century when it was developed as a busy port for loading Constantine granite. Today it is a sleepy hamlet secreted at the head of a short tidal creek off the Helford River. The Helford River Estuary is one of the most scenic estuaries in the county, famed for the plethora of picturesque creeks which include Fisherman’s Creek, made famous by Daphne du Maurier’s novel of the same name.

Just 3 miles to the east is the pretty village of Mawnan Smith, famed for its 15th Century church overlooking the mouth of the Helford River. The village will be equally well-known for being close to two of Cornwall’s longest established sub-tropical gardens, Gelndurgan and Trebah.
