Falmouth lies between two beautiful rivers, the Fal to the north and the Helford to the south. The Helford River has numerous inlets or creeks, the most well known being Frenchman's Creek, famed for the eponymous book and Hollywood film.
Four days ago Barbara and I walked the 9 miles from Frenchman's Creek to Falmouth, passing through the tiny village of Helford, where we took the ferry across the river to Helford Passage and then the lovely cliff top walk to Falmouth.

This is a highly recommended day out from Falmouth, as there is a regular bus service to Helford Passage from The Moor in Falmouth (except Sundays). The walk is moderate with an elevation gain of 1,150 ft.
