If you were to sit down and design the perfect riverside village from scratch, chances are you'd come up with something pretty close to Helford. It's a winning combination of old cottages, quiet lanes, river views, old woodland and bobbing boats. There's nothing much to see – it's just a place to sit and soak up the vibe.
It’s also infamous as one of the county’s priciest places to buy a house – there’s a liberal smattering of rock-star mansions and palatial houses sprinkled along the riverbanks.
