3About Helston Water
Helston Water occupies former tin mining country between Truro and the Helford River, accessible via the A39 from Truro or A3078 from the south. The area's scattered villages like Bissoe and Twelveheads reflect its industrial past, whilst RNAS Culdrose nearby remains one of Europe's largest helicopter bases. With over 60 EV charging points and a network of old tramway paths, it's well-positioned for exploring Cornwall's mining heritage, marked by distinctive engine house ruins across the hillsides.
