More Information
About :: The ferry connecting the North and South banks of the Helford River has been running continuously since the Middle Ages.
Then, it was a vital link for the communities providing transportation for local produce to the markets in Falmouth.
The cart and driver travelled on the ferry and the horse swam along behind! These days travel is slightly more conventional and the ferry is purely a passenger ferry although bicycles, dogs and pushchairs can all be accommodated.
Timetable :: Its customers use it mainly for pleasure, to visit the several beautiful gardens on the banks of the Helford, the pubs and also to enjoy the many interesting walks.
The ferry operates from Good Friday or 1st April to October 31st. The ferry will run on demand between 9:30 am and 5.30 pm.
From late June until the end of August the ferry will run from 9:30 am to last light, 7 nights a week.
Open 7 days a week 10am-5pm, telephone 01326 250005.
