Helston tourist information
Helston, formally a port until the Looe Bar formed across the River Cober forming Looe Pool.
You can see Regency houses in the town along Cross Street and the 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. Unless that's a Sunday or Monday, when the dance is done on the Saturday before.
They say sometime ago a dragon dropped a rock on the town, but the town survived, or so the tale goes.
