TRANQUIL CORNWALL WALK - Helford and Frenchmans creek
We follow a guided walk from the beautiful Helford village across fields to Frenchman's Creek, to return along the banks of the River Helford. Spectacular views of a flooding creek with the peace and tranquility of the Cornish Coutryside. Helford is on the Lizard Peninsula near Helston.
Frenchamn's Creek is the name of a Daphne du Maurier book, a romance between a french pirate and an English lady!
This walk was filmed in August, Cornwall' busiest holiday season and we found this a very tranquil walk with hardly any one else around.

Kayaking on Helford River and Frenchman's Creek | Cornwall Vlog | The Cornish Life
As part of VisitBritain's #WelcomeToEngland campaign, I hosted 2 international travel bloggers and showed them all the best bits of Cornwall in a 3 day whistlestop tour.
On one of the mornings, I met the girls at Budock Vean hotel ( to go on a kayaking trip on Helford river with Koru Kayaking ( It was super windy, but we eventually made it across the river to Frenchman's Creek, which was truly stunning in the March sunshine!

The Gillan Creek ferry enables walkers to cross Gillan Creek between Halamana, Gillan and St. Anthony at high tide. The stepping stones of the South West Coast Path across Gillan Creek are submerged roughly 3 hours either side of high water. Without using the ferry, walkers are forced inland along roads for over a mile, and miss a large stretch of the south bank of the creek.
The Helford River is renowned for its scenic beauty and marine ecology. There are seven creeks which feed the Helford River. The best known of these is Frenchman’s Creek, made famous by Daphne du Maurier in her novel of the same name.
There are several little villages and hamlets along the Helford River including Durgan, Mawnan and St Anthony-in-Meneage. The Gweek Seal Sanctuary is only a few miles away too, where you can visit seal pups which have been rescued and rehabilitated before their release back into the wild.
Those who take the ferry across to Helford Passage can explore the beautiful gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan. Both are full of sub-tropical plants, tree ferns, rhododendrons and much more. These gardens continue to flourish due to both the mild climate and warming effect of the sea.
The Helford River is a ria in Cornwall, England, fed by small streams into its many creeks. There are seven creeks on the Helford; from west to east these are Ponsontuel Creek, Mawgan Creek, Polpenwith Creek, Polwheveral Creek, Frenchman's Creek, Port Navas Creek, and Gillan Creek

Helford River Parachute Mine
Almost from start to finish. After initially spotting the mine underwater, I had to re-find it. This video is edited to make it look easy and short, it wasn't. We actually went out several times looking for it, then when we found it we dived it twice, once to check what we saw on the sounder was correct, then dive again to photograph it. Once we had photos we called the Bomb squad (EODU). The EODU came the following day and detonated the mine the day after that.
