Location:
Porthleven is a pretty unspoilt fishing village situated approx 3
miles from the market town of Helston, which has a large range of shops (including an out of town Tesco), restaurants, public houses, sports centre and boating
lake. Its biggest tourist attraction is 'Flambards' Theme Park and is also famous for its Floral Dance in early May.
The Lizard Peninsula has something to offer for all ages. The
beaches are arguably the best in the country both for swimming and surfing; the coastal walks are breathtaking, especially in early May when the wild flowers
are at their best. Lizard Point, the most southerly point of Great Britain, with its spectacular cliffs, is only 4 miles away.
Also within easy reach are the
Helford River, Falmouth with its newly opened National Maritime Museum, St Michael's Mount, Penzance - day trips to the Scilly Isles by boat or helicopter -
Lands End and St Ives with the Tate Gallery a must for modern art lovers. Whilst you are in Cornwall please go to The Eden Project at St Austell - don't miss
it - you won't be disappointed.
As you would guess, this area has many excellent sea food
restaurants and there is a particularly good one in Porthleven, down by the harbour.
Accommodation:
