Admission is free and it is well worth a visit. A charming feature of the town are it's Kennels. These are streams running down either side of Wendron Street, Church Street and Coinagehall Street. In earlier time these kept the gutters clean but today only add to the charm of Helston. The streets are lined with many interesting shops including a Cornish Book Shop specializing in all things Cornish including the Cornish Language.
Local bakeries abound and the smell of fresh baked pasties tempt all who pass.
Parking is easy and only a few yards from the shopping area. At the bottom of the town is Coronation Park complete with children's play area, boating lake, ducks and swans. Two miles southwest of the town stands RNAS Culdrose, the largest helicopter base in Europe. An Air Day is held each year in July and a public wiewing area is open all year.
