Location - A settlement since medieval times, Port Navas - which is thought to translate as ‘Cove of the Sheep’ - is a peaceful hamlet at the head of one of the Helford River’s seven creeks, and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Within the hamlet there is an active yacht club, providing excellent dining and marina berths for smaller boats, ready access is also provided onto some of the country's most beautiful and sheltered day-sailing waters. Life on the river means plenty of outdoor water activities. Launch your boat, kayak or paddleboard to explore the Helford River from its best angle, spotting the rich birdlife as you go. The well served villages of Mawnan Smith and Constantine are both within a few minutes drive; the port of Falmouth is approximately seven miles distant and the cathedral city of Truro is an approximate thirty minute drive away.
