The sub-tropical gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan are approximately half a mile distant, with the head of Port Navas Creek in one direction, and the deeper waters of the Helford River easily accessible, with Helford Passage providing launching and beach facilities, as well as being home to the popular Ferryboat Inn.
