THE LOCATION

The Rectory is situated off the highly favoured Old Church Road on the edge of this popular village which has a school, general store, post office and pub and is located approximately 4.8 miles from Falmouth and close to the Helford River. The Helford estuary, renowned as a haven for pirates in the last century, still has echoes of a romantic buccaneering past lingering on in the twisting creeks. It is this atmosphere which has been the inspiration for many books, one very famous example being Daphne Du Maurier’s 'Frenchman's Creek'. Today the Helford River continues to offer swimming and sailing facilities and a second natural harbour from which to explore the Cornish coast, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust. Truro is approximately 14 miles away with a range of leisure and amenity facilities, flagship shopping stores and primary and secondary education facilities which includes Truro School, Truro High School and Polewhele as independent options. Maenporth Beach is an attractive sheltered east-facing sandy beach set between small headlands. The gently sloping beach has shallow water which is ideal for children and popular for water sports. It is situated approximately 2 miles south-southwest of Falmouth and has views over the bay towards Pendennis Castle and the lighthouse on St Anthony Head. Maenporth has much to offer in terms of facilities including a delightful beach café along with the popular and well renowned Cove Restaurant. Newquay Airport is 32 miles away with flights to London Gatwick airport.
