Constantine Village

The village of Constantine is situated on the lovely Helford River, just north of Helford Passage and west of Falmouth, which is the nearest big town.   Facilities and amenities in the village include a pub (Queens Arms), village shop, post office, extensive quality off-licence, doctor and dentist, 13th century parish church, hairdresser, taxi service and local bus service.   Alternatively, guests could try the Trengilly Wartha Inn, which is a 15 minute walk away along a footpath. The pub was awarded "Pub of the Year" in 1998 and 1999, with real ales and an excellent restaurant, serving bar food.  

Helford Passage

Overlooked by a golf Course, Helford Passage is one of the Helford River's many popular anchorages for small craft.   Its sand and shingle beach faces due south across the estuary to a rolling landscape of fields and woodlands.

The passenger ferry to Helford has operated since the Middle Ages, and provides walkers on the coastal path with an alternative to the 8 mile detour through Gweek.   There is virtually no parking in the village, but cars may be left in the lane, about a 10 minute walk from the shore.

Sailing boats, rowing boats and motor boats can be hired.
