Description A sheltered deepwater ria on the western side of Falmouth Bay on the south Cornish coast. The broad riverscape is enclosed by steep slopes with extensive mature broadleaved woodland which is internationally important Ancient Woodland. The numerous small creeks around the river are enclosed by their steep, well-wooded slopes but have wide-spreading views out over the Helford River from vantage points on the valley sides. Much of the woodland is truly ancient and has been indentified as Upland Oakwood with some Upland Mixed Ashwoods. There are distinct groups of ornamental pine planting on the valley sides, around houses. The coastal areas which flow from each side of the mouth of the Helford both have a narrow rough coastal strip, backed by pastures. The small upland ridges between the creeks support a mix of pastoral and arable farmland (with a network of Cornish hedges with trees) that takes advantage of the sheltered slopes and fertile loamy soils.
