Helford Passage is a tiny riverside hamlet on the north bank of the Helford River in Cornwall, England, known chiefly for its peaceful setting and the pedestrian ferry that links it with the village of Helford on the opposite shore. The river here is a ria with sheltered creeks, saltmarsh and wooded valleys that make it popular for boating, kayaking and birdwatching, and it sits close to the scenic Roseland Peninsula.
Locally the economy leans heavily on tourism and holiday homes, with small cafés, moorings and walking trails drawing day-trippers and walkers from nearby Falmouth and beyond. Historic and garden attractions such as the National Trust’s Trebah and Glendurgan are just a short drive or boat ride away, so the passage combines a quiet community feel with easy access to some of Cornwall’s best coastal scenery.
