The Helford River
The Helford River, where luxuriant green woods and fields meet the sea, has long been recognised for its scenic beauty and biological importance. The maritime climate means there are no extremes of temperature, average winters are mild and hot summers are rare.
Residents and visitors alike appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, many taking to the water in boats, whilst commercial activities are closely linked to the sea or tourist industry.
The Helford Voluntary Marine Conservation Area was designated in 1987 to help protect the rich and varied marine life of this beautiful estuary.
The aims are to encourage people to become more involved with the marine environment and to work together to conserve it.
