Advantages: quiet

Disadvantages: well, quiet

Helston isn't a bad little town. It's a very typically cornish town with narrow, winding streets and that salty sea air that permeates everything, even when you're miles from the coast.

helston is mostly made up of local shops, with some staples such as boots and dorothy perkins. it's a one street town, with some cute places to grab lunch, but not many restaurants and little to no night life.

fun to visit for the day, probably on the way to somewhere else is best, but i wouldn't reccomend a long stay. The locals are friendly once you get to know them, but it's quite a secluded place and I don't think tourism often reaches Helston, so sometimes it seems quite quiet and almost deserted - I'm sure the credit crunch hasn't done much to improve situations, sadly.

If you're looking for a nice town that hasn't been spoilt by tourism, it's worth giving a go.

Summary: cornish town needs life
