The parish of Mylor sits in wooded valleys and on the banks of Mylor Creek, a tidal inlet off the broad natural harbour of Carrick Roads near Falmouth in Cornwall, England. Its sheltered waters, marinas and creeks make it a magnet for sailing and leisure boating, while lanes and footpaths through mixed farmland and woodland give the area a pleasantly rural character.
Historically the community grew up around the medieval church of St Melorus and a long Cornish maritime tradition; today the local economy is a mix of tourism, boating services - notably at Mylor Harbour - and agriculture. Village life remains lively with local pubs, halls and seasonal sailing events, offering a tranquil base with easy access to the amenities of nearby Falmouth.
