The nearest town is Helston to the west which provides a wide range of shops and a town centre that has retained most of its older buildings providing a distinct air of history and a pleasant shopping environment. The town also has a supermarket, large leisure park (Flambards) and is the venue for one of Cornwall’s most internationally renowned events (the annual Furry Dance).
