Port Navas Creek

Highlight • River

Port Navas creek is one of 7 creeks which feed into the Helford River (the most famous of the creeks is Frenchman's creek which features in Daphe Du Maurier's novel).

The creek was used in the 19th century to transport granite from the quarries around Constantine. Now there are commercial oyster beds within the creek.

Trebah Garden

Highlight • Natural

The Trebah estate was first mentioned in the early 11th century. After that, it was long owned by Cornish landlords and changed its owners until the 1980s. Since then, the garden has been refurbished by its new owners and opened to the public in 1987. Already 160 years ago, the first trees were planted here. In Trebah, besides 100-year-old rhododendron, many other subtropical plants are flourishing today. The 500 bus takes just 20 minutes to Trebah Garden from Falmouth.

Maenporth Beach

Highlight • Beach

As Maenporth is an east facing beach it is sheltered and with shallow water it is very popular with families. Behind the beach is a wetland, home to a variety of bird and wildlife.

There is a beach cafe and remains of a shipwrecked trawler, Ben Asdale, are visible when the tide is out. She succumbed to the rocks on a stormy, snowy November night in 1978. 11 crewman were saved in treacherous conditions but tragically three died. It is possible to scramble across the rocks for a better view of her remains.

Slice of Cornwall Café

Highlight • Cafe

What a brilliant cafe just north of Constantine, and right on the West Kernow Way bikepacking route. Expect delicious coffee and generous brunches, catering for all tastes. The breakfast hash and vegan hash both come highly recommended!
