If you have a boat for the week, do visit Tremayne Quay (tide permitting). A beautiful place for watching the River, swimming and picnics.

Right on the Farm's door step this stunning and breath-taking quay is directly on the Helford river. A brief walk over the farm's private Nature trail takes you to this picturesque and peaceful location.

Tremayne Quay and woods is very close by and a wonderful walk. Pack a picnic to have once you reach the quay, it's very picturesque especially when the tide is in.

You can walk or take a short drive to the woodland trail that leads you alongside the Helford River to Tremayne Quay. This is a beautiful, quiet spot, perfect for picnics.

Tremayne Quay was built by Sir Richard Vyvyan in 1847, anticipating a visit from Queen Victoria. The planned visit never happened but the quay is now a Grade II listed structure, a lovely walk from the road through a wooded creekside on the Helford River. Queen Victoria’s great grandson, Edward Duke of Windsor, made a belated royal visit to the quay in 1921, when he was Prince of Wales. Some of the trees in Tremayne Woods, notably the mature beech plantation in the valley at the head of the creek, were planted specifically to impress Queen Victoria prior to her aborted visit. The sessile oak woodlands further down the track were managed as coppice for the charcoal and tannin trade up until the 1920s. Today the woods are known by walkers and visitors for their tranquillity, estuarine birds and woodland flora. Tremayne Quay and Tremayne Woods were bequeathed to the National Trust in 1978 by the Vyvyan family of Trelowarren. Tremayne is one of the few public quays on the upper reaches of the Helford River, with public access right down to the water’s edge. You can walk from the hut but probably easier to drive a bit closer and park. Perfect spot for a picnic. One of my favourite walks.
