Helford Passage (Cornish: Treth Heyl, meaning ferry to Helford) is a village in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated on the north bank of the Helford River opposite Helford approximately five miles (8 km) south-southwest of Falmouth.
The village is in the civil parish of Mawnan: before 1986, it was in Constantine Parish.
A pedestrian ferry operates daily from Easter to October between Helford Passage and Helford
Helford Passage lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.
The gardens at Trebah, the National Trust's Glendurgan Garden, are a short walk away.
Famous quotes containing the word passage:
“To history therefore I must refer for answer, in which it would be an unhappy passage indeed, which should shew by what fatal indulgence of subordinate views and passions, a contest for an atom had defeated well founded prospects of giving liberty to half the globe.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
