Port Navas is located at the head of a wooded tidal creek on the North side of the Helford River. Once a busy port, it's now a haven for boating enthusiasts and others who appreciate peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings.

Oysters are still fattened at the Duchy Oyster farm and the Port Navas Yacht Club plays host to visiting yachtsmen and thirsty villagers. There's no proper pub and no village shop, although the Save The Children charity shop does good business in the summer months.

Port Navas has a healthy mixture of full-time residents, second homes and holiday lets. There is a small Methodist church and in 2002 village residents and friends got together to purchase the old Reading Room for use as a Village Hall.

The popular Port Navas Regatta has been held on the Quay for more than eighty years.

Mrs Peggy Shepperd, the co-author of this delightful book on Port Navas, has kindly offered all proceeds from sales of the book to go to the Port Navas Village Hall.

The book costs £4.99 (plus 76p postage). If you'd like one please contact Sally Thomas, Firleigh, Port Navas, Falmouth TR11 5RJ (tel: 01326 340233).
