It was renowned as a haven for pirates and inspired many writers, famously Daphne du Maurier with ''Frenchman's Creek'. The Helford River continues to offer sailing facilities and a wonderful natural harbour from which to explore the Cornish coast, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust. There are many fine coastal walks and creek paths. Nearby are the gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah.
