Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text. Situation The nearby village of Mawnan Smith is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to Falmouth Bay and Rosemullion Head in a much sought after area of the South Cornish coast. The village itself has a wide selection of local shops, a village pub and a church. The historic town and port of Falmouth is just 4 miles away, whilst 14 miles away the Cathedral City of Truro provides the main business links for Cornwall and offers an excellent range of shopping, commercial and schooling facilities. This part of South Cornwall is perhaps best known for its wonderful sailing and cruising with deep water moorings in the Helford River and first class yacht marinas at Falmouth. This area has one of the most wonderful climates in the United Kingdom, ensuring some spectacular gardens in the county including four of national repute at Trebah, Glendurgan, Carwinion and Penjerrick. For the sports enthusiast, there are several golf courses in the area including Budock Vean (2 miles away). In addition to river and sea fishing, other water sports include windsurfing and water skiing on the Helford Passage and in Falmouth Bay. Truro provides the mainline railway links to London Paddington (4 hours, 18 minutes). Newquay Airport offers daily flights to London (London City Airport in about 90 mins and Gatwick in about 70 mins) and a growing number of cities across the UK. Recent and ongoing improvements to the main A30 Trunk Road now provide fast access to the M5 motorway network at Exeter. The Property Built of local stone from a nearby quarry, Treworgan was constructed in the latter part of the 19th century in the style of Gothic Revival. Not only is it situated in a stunning, secluded and commanding coastal position with south easterly aspects but it is itself an elegant and unique house with great presence and fascinating architecture. The property is very private and not overlooked. Treworgan was completely renovated and refurbished in 2002, resulting in a cleverly designed and immaculate high specification interior finish incorporating many modern features and technology. All the principal reception rooms and bedrooms have stunning, commanding views in a south easterly direction across the landscaped gardens and grounds towards the sea and Rosemullion Head. All the principal reception rooms have working open fireplaces and there is an integral media system linking music and satellite entertainment into the key reception rooms, kitchen and bedroom suites. There is also an impressive security system throughout the property. A large terrace is accessed off the three principal reception rooms and the basement houses a gymnasium. There is access off the first floor through the castellated tower directly onto a large flat roof which provides the most amazing, panoramic views across Falmouth Bay. Gardens and Grounds The property extends to about 9.5 acres of mature gardens and grounds and landscaped lawns. At the foot of the property is access directly to a secluded beach with access restricted to the coastal path or from the sea. Important Notice 1.

As part of the regular monitoring programme of the SAC, I and some volunteers from Cornwall Wildlife Trust (to whom I say a big thank you for all your efforts) came down to the Helford on the good boat EVA on the 17th July to see how the seagrass was getting on and to see if it had spread into the adjacent moorings. Although the weather was not perfect and the visibility not good, the team were able to carry out three transect swims measuring the percentage cover of the plants, makeup of the seabed and were also able to map the edges of the bed. Preliminary analysis of the data show that the seagrass is in good health and that the extent has not changed significantly from the previous survey. However, there is some evidence that the seagrass has spread slightly westwards and isolated clumps can now be found in and around the moorings. I hope that we will be able to repeat this study next and subsequent years and also include some more detailed work on both the health of the seagrass and a more accurate survey of the density and individual plant length of the grass on the Helford.

AN APPEAL TO ALL DOG OWNERS FROM THE EDITOR There’s no easy way of putting this, but despite previous complaints, some irresponsible dog owners are still allowing their animals to foul the grass verge beside the school. This is especially unpleasant and a potential health risk for school and pre-school children.

All rights reserved. Cornwall County Council 100019590, 2008. Location Stream valleys and slopes around the Helford River, from St Anthony-in-Meneage in the south, west to the eastern outskirts of Helston, then along the north flank to the south- western edge of Falmouth. Designations All component LDUs are either completely or partly within the Cornwall AONB; 5 LDUs contain SSSIs. 5 LDUs contain SACs; 7 contain SMs and there is 1 CGS site. 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.
