Our home is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac on the outskirts of the small market town of Helston. The house backs on to a pretty lane, the starting point for a number of lovely walks which take you past a 15th century manor house and along pretty country lanes or across numerous country footpaths with Cornish Engine Houses ( from the Tin Mining era ) in the background.
Helston is a small market town with a number of historic buildings & a museum. It also has a number of nice cafes, pubs and restaurants as well as several large supermarkets on the outskirts of the town. For the younger members of the family there is also the famous “Flambards” theme park and, in the near-by village of Gweek, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. A short stroll from the centre of Helston is the large Coronation Park with its huge boating lake (boats for hire), childrens play amenities, skate park and cafe. Here, too, is the start of a beautiful walk through the Penrose Estate (managed by the National Trust) down to the coast & the famous seaside village of Porthleven!
