 Helston
|
|
| Helston,
formally a port until the Looe Bar formed across the River Cober
forming Looe Pool. Regency houses in the town along Cross Street,Victorian
Guildhall.
Its time for the Floral Dance !, through the streets
with the Furry Dance, lots of colour and music, but only on
May 8th. Sometime ago a dragon dropped a rock on the town,
the town survived, or so the tale goes.
Don't forget to visit Flambards!
