Places to see in ( Helston - UK )
Helston is a town and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Helston is situated at the northern end of the Lizard Peninsula approximately 12 miles east of Penzance and 9 miles south-west of Falmouth.
Helston is the most southerly town on the island of Great Britain and is around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) farther south than Penzance. The former stannary and cattle market town is best known for the annual Furry Dance (known locally as the Flora Dance), said to originate from the medieval period. However, the Hal-an-Tow is reputed to be of Celtic origin. The song, and music, associated with the Furry Dance is known to have been written in 1911. In 2001, Helston celebrated the 800th anniversary of the granting of its Charter.
Helston is situated along the banks of the River Cober in Cornwall. Downstream is Cornwall's largest natural lake Loe Pool, formed when a shingle bar blocked the mouth of the river by rising sea levels forming a barrier beach. To the south is the Lizard Peninsula, an area important for its complex geology and wildlife habitats.
Helston is on the A394 road. To the west, the A394 leads to Penzance; to the north-east it leads to Penryn where it joins the A39, which leads south to Falmouth and north-east to Truro. The B3297 runs north from Helston to Redruth.
The nearest railway station is Redruth on the Cornish main line, although the Helston branch line railway served the town until closure in the early 1960s. The branch left the ex-GWR main line at Gwinear Road station near Hayle, and ran 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south to terminate at Helston railway station. The Helston Railway Preservation Company is undertaking the restoration of part of the line. Bus services now link Helston to the rail network; First South West provides the (34) bus service from Redruth station to Helston as well as other services to nearby towns and the Lizard peninsula.
Flora Day occurs annually, on 8 May (except when the date falls on a Sunday or Monday — Monday being Market Day — when it is the preceding Saturday) Helston hosts the Furry Dance. Helston Town Band has a rich history, which can be traced back to the turn of the 20th century. Indeed, there are members of the current band whose family connections extend back four generations.
Helston is also the birthplace of Bob Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons, the first triple world boxing champion. The house where he was born and lived in Helston is still standing and is indicated by a plaque above the door. The Helston Museum, founded in 1949, occupies the building originally designed as the town's Market House in 1837, with two separate buildings—one for butter and eggs, the other the meat market.
There are three Cornish crosses in Helston: one in Cross Street and two in Mr. Baddeley's garden (Cross Street). One of the latter crosses was removed from Tresprison, Wendron, and other from near Trelill Holy Well, Wendron. The Grylls Monument, at the end of Coinagehall Street was built by public subscription in 1834 to thank Humphry Millet Grylls. Helston also hosts The Flambards Experience, formerly the Helston Aero Park, which is a theme park with a selection of rides together with a few remaining aviation exhibits. Nearby Wendron is home to the Poldark Mine theme park, where visitors can go underground into the old workings.

LYRICS...
I’m a Redruth boy
making tunes in my bedroom
and boy I’ve made some good ones too
and this one goes out to my friends
that I’ve known since way back
when we were in playgroup
where I was always wearing my policeman’s helmet
going, ‘nee-na nee-na’
and being a helmet
but I was only three
man I couldn’t help it
kicking and screaming if I didn’t get the best ride on toy
at the end of the year day
but this didn’t make me many friends
until I mended my ways
on the outside was where I tended to stay
but outside was where I liked to play
in my underground lair
did I say I had an underground lair?
well I did
and it was better than my treehouse
because I didn’t have a tree
I’d go and hang out down there once I’d had my tea
at that age you see
to be an explorer
or you needed was a BMX or a
spade
and for
the people next do to
give me my ball back so I can go to the park and play
World Cup in the tennis courts
or ‘Head, Knee, Foot’
depending on what sort of
numbers we had
all the fun that we had
growing up in Redruth
man I’d be sad to leave
I’m not trying to get out
and I know just why
because there’s everything I want
and more bedsides
in Redruth
I’ve lived here all of my life
and it’s alright
it’s got slides and swings
and some nice buildings
and all over town there are people milling
around
and filling their day
in the Redruth way
in Redruth
‘the home of the gas lamp’
me, Will and Ed, Matt, Dan and Passman
crossed paths in class
and had some laughs
in the type of town you can’t go out in wearing a hat
without
someone beeping and shouting at ya
‘nice hat!’
beep! beep!
then speeding past ya
when we meet up
we normally get plastered
in the same pub in town
if we’ve got the cash ta
and (if we get the chance ta)
we wouldn’t hesitate doing a dance to Aqua
so to my friends yo I’d like to thank ya
because without such great mates
my life would be a disaster
this one’s for them
but it’s also for you
because though it’s sentimental
it’s got a nice tune
Passman!
take it away
I’m not trying to get out
and I know just why
because there’s everything I want
and more bedsides
in Redruth
I’ve lived here all of my life
and it’s alright
it’s got slides and swings
and some nice buildings
and all over town there are people milling
around
and filling their day
in the Redruth way

Landscapes and Seascapes of West Penwith, Cornwall
Penwith, from the Cornish Pennwydh 'headland at the end', also known as the Land's End Peninsula, is a rugged, sparsely populated corner of the far south-west of Britain. Surrounded on three sides by the restless waters of the Atlantic Ocean and ringed by dramatic granite cliffs, it rises to wild tracts of rocky moorland at its centre and has numerous sheltered woodland valleys running down to picturesque fishing coves.
Penwith has some of the finest beaches in Britain where golden sands are washed by the clean aquamarine waters of the gulf stream, which gives the region its mild climate allowing an abundance of flowers and shrubs to grow year round.
West Penwith contains more ancient monuments and sites than any other place in Britain. This is one of the longest, consecutively settled landscapes in the world where Neolithic megaliths, Bronze Age field systems, Iron Age hill forts and Celtic holy wells, rub shoulders with medieval farmsteads and abandoned tin and copper mines. The old mines, marked by their iconic granite engine houses, now form part of the UNESCO Cornish Mining World Heritage Site.
This timeless and spectacular region offers a fabulous tourist experience at any time of the year, but late spring-early summer, when the flowers are in full bloom, is simply magnificent.

Views of the beautiful rivers of Cornwall
Whether it's a quiet riverside walk you're after or something a bit more challenging, like paddle-boarding, kayaking or angling, a day exploring Cornwall's rivers, is a great way to make the most of the diversity of the landscape.
In this film, staff at the Westcountry Rivers Trust celebrate their 20th anniversary by taking you on a whistle-stop tour to show you what they love so much about Cornwall's rivers.
They took us fly fishing for brown trout on the De Lank River, an idyllic moorland stream up on Bodmin Moor that feeds the River Camel: buy angling tokens via the Westcountry Angling Passport scheme. Then there was dragonfly spotting in the Red River Valley Nature Reserve, an area with a rich mining history where nature is flourishing once again.
They also take you kayaking from the historic town of Lostwithiel, downstream into the iconic Fowey estuary (stick to deep water, so you don't damage delicate river habitats).
Last stop was stand-up paddle boarding in the crystal clear, aquamarine waters of the River Gannel at Crantock where the freshwater of the river mixes and mingles with the salt water of the sea.
The Rivers of Cornwall was produced by Visit Cornwall in partnership with the Westcountry Rivers Trust.
