Gweek is a small waterside village in Cornwall, England, sitting at the head of the tidal estuary of the Helford River. Its narrow creek, wooded banks and quay give it a distinctive, sheltered character and make the estuary popular for sailing, wildlife-watching and quiet river trips.
Historically a modest port and boat‑building centre serving local fishing and trade, Gweek today relies on a mix of tourism, small craft businesses and conservation – notably the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, which attracts visitors and supports marine rescue work. The village retains a cosy, community feel with pubs, workshops and riverfront activity, and is a pleasant, unhurried stop for exploring the south Cornish coast near Helston.
