Location

Helston is famed for it’s historic Flora Day celebrations on 8 May when the town is bedecked with greenery, bluebells and gorse and throughout the day dancers weave in and out of shops, houses and gardens following the Helston Town Band playing the famous Floral Dance and ushering in the Summer. Helston was granted its charter in 1201 and was originally a thriving port. Where the river joined the sea is now Cornwall’s largest freshwater lake, separated from the sea by Loe Bar, a long sand bar.

The modern town and the surrounding nearby areas now boast many Primary Schools with the nearest Secondary Schools being in Helston and Mullion. Helston also enjoys a leisure centre with a swimming pool and large gym and many amenity areas including the Coronation Boating Lake and the beautiful National Trust Penrose Estate offering a host of woodland walks. Helston is widely regarded as the gateway to the stunning Lizard Peninsula and is within a 10 minute drive of the thriving harbour and coastline at Porthleven offering an array of shops and good quality restuarants as well as world class surf. The city of Truro and the towns of Falmouth, Penzance and Hayle are all within a 20 to 30 minute drive.
