About Gillan

Gillan is a tiny Cornish creek village on the Lizard Peninsula, reached via narrow lanes off the A3083 through Manaccan. Popular routes include circuits from Helston (15km) or longer drives from Truro via the A30. The village sits where boats strand on mudflats at low tide, creating an oddly charming scene of vessels marooned like garden ornaments.
