Local residents enjoy the right to keep boats on the beach and launch them and the village has a highly regarded pub, the Five Pilchards Inn. 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). The Lizard Peninsula is largely regarded as one of the most unspoilt and untouched areas of Cornwall with many of its picturesque coastal and inland villages providing a distinct link with a bygone era. The peninsula is the most southern tip of England offering gorgeous beaches, rugged cliff top walks and an unspoilt hinterland of open farmland, mature woodland and some pristine countryside some of which is still owned by the ancient family estates and some under the stewardship of the National Trust. The South West Coast Path provides access to the entire coastline whilst just to the north of Porthallow is the Helford River and associated creeks with Gillan Harbour, St Anthony in Meneage and Helford Village acting as a core for boating facilities, services and access to the footpaths along the Helford River and its surrounding creeks. The Helford River provides direct access to Falmouth Bay for sailing fans with the bay hosting many summer yachting competitions and races, linking up with clubs from Falmouth 5 Ref: LCAA7032 and St Mawes on the opposite side of the bay. From Helston there are excellent road links to the A30 which then remains largely dual carriageway all the way to Exeter. Cornwall’s Airport at Newquay lies to the north east providing daily shuttle flights to London Gatwick and a mainline railway service from Penzance offers a direct line to London Paddington (approximate travel time 4½ hours).
