The larger market town of Helston is about 3½ miles distant and was once a thriving port with ships sailing up the low river to load locally steamed tin but during the 13th Century a bar of shingle formed at the mouth of the river cutting off access to the sea and thus creating a freshwater lake known as Loe Pool. Gweek has always enjoyed a very active community life with many organisations flourishing despite a relatively small population. It has a busy community but also close by are the peace and tranquillity of the tidal river with its ancient oak woods rising from the water’s edge. The Helford River of south Cornwall requires little introduction as one of the foremost locations in the county and is favoured for its sailing waters, not only in the Helford River but also Falmouth Bay and the nearby Fal Estuary. 5 Ref: LCAA7271 6 Ref: LCAA7271 7 Ref: LCAA7271 Not to scale – for identification purposes only. 8 Ref: LCAA7271 GENERAL INFORMATION VIEWING – Strictly by prior appointment through: Lillicrap Chilcott, Landrian House, 59-60 Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PE.
