Helford River Cruises
Budock Vean Hotel Mawnan Smith Cornwall TR11 5LG
Departing from the foreshore of the 4 star Budock Vean Hotel, this hour and half cruise in the Hannah Molly, a 19 foot open top Cornish boat, takes you along the Helford River past Helford Passage, Glendurgan and Trebah Gardens, then over past Helford Village and into the creeks including Frenchman's Creek (of Daphne du Maurier fame). It's a lovely ninety-minute trip, on which you can spot herons,egrets and cormorants, maybe a kingfisher.
