Endless coastal views
Helston is surrounded by immediate coastal beauty. It’s situated in a dramatic section of the South West Coastal Path (between Porthleven and Falmouth), so it’s the perfect place to spend your weekend exploring and breathing in the sea air. It is also en route to the popular Lizard Peninsula, making it the ideal spot for exploring the breathtaking Lizard Heritage Coast.
This town is known for being close to sandy beaches. Living here means you’ll have Porthleven Beach, Praa Sands and Kynance Cove close by - just a selection of the beautiful outdoor spaces you can enjoy, all year round. But it’s not just for surfers. Where the river meets the sea, you’ll find Cornwall's largest freshwater lake, secluded from the ocean by Loe Bar.
Award-winning eateries
There’s never a shortage of good grub or local drinks for the residents, so you won’t need to go far from your new house to eat and drink to your heart’s content. In the town centre, you’ll find many rural pubs, some of which have been brewing and selling beer for nearly 600 years. For a taste of tradition with breathtaking sea vistas, head to the Halzephron Inn, in the small fishing village of Gunwalloe.
If you’re looking for something a bit more lively on the weekends, you’re in luck. Our new builds are conveniently placed in West Cornwall, with larger towns such as Falmouth, Penzance and Truro all around 20 minutes away.
The ideal location for families
When it comes to families, you’ll never be at a loose end. There’s Flambards Theme Park, one of the area’s most popular attractions and Cornwall’s largest theme park, and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. These attractions show that there’s always a fun day out around the corner while living here.
There are fantastic opportunities for education too, with four primary schools in the area. Helston Community College serves secondary-age students across two town campuses. Meanwhile, Truro School stands out as Cornwall’s leading independent school. As for higher education, Falmouth University in Penryn specialises in creative industries and is rated as the UK's top arts university.
