More about this scene

Lying at the estuary of the River Helford, this small port was important in days gone by, for it supported the tin mining industry. Today, it serves yachtsmen and tourists, but it is also well known for its oysters. Fans of Daphne du Maurier visit this place, too; she based her famous novel 'Frenchman's Creek' on the inlet inland of this village.
