Cottages In Helston
An historic inland port, Helston is a friendly town with a
bubbly personality and a stay in a Helston holiday cottage makes a
fascinating gateway to south-west Cornwall.
Step back to yesteryear along the Heritage Trail - look out for
the old miners' cottages, the old well, the large monument
built in honour of local banker Millett Grylls, the birthplace of
boxer Bob Fitzsimmons, the Guildhall, St. Michael's Church and
an impressive cannon outside the Folk Museum (free admission).
You'll also find some great pubs, cafés, restaurants and
traditional pasty shops.
Experience floral dance on your cottage holiday...
Remember Wogan's chart-topping hit back in the 1970s? Well
it has strong ties with Helston, Cornwall's second oldest town
and host to the Furry or Floral Dance every May. Dating back
centuries, this legendary festival draws crowds and there's a
real party atmosphere from daybreak 'til dusk, with children
and adults dancing in step to the local band. Book your rental
cottage in Helston well in advance and join in with the
celebrations!
Travelling with the family? As well as a park and boating lake,
Flambards theme park and the
National Seal Sanctuary are just down the road. Not forgetting the
pretty coastal village of Porthleven for days on the beach, boat
trips and so on.
For lovely woodland and coastal walks, head for the Penrose
Estate, start of a seven-mile circular trail that takes in Loe
Pool, Cornwall's biggest freshwater lake separated from the sea
by a long sandbar and home to an incredible array of waterfowl.
Just a taste of what's on offer when you pick Helston for a
cottage holiday!
