About

Helston South & Meneage is a rural ward in the far west of Cornwall, centred on the historic market town of Helston. The area extends southwards to encompass the agricultural peninsula known as the Meneage, often described as Cornwall's 'granite spine'. This landscape is characterised by a network of narrow lanes, small villages, and working farms set amidst patchwork fields. The town itself functions as a commercial and administrative hub for the surrounding communities.

The ward includes the upper reaches of the Helford River, with its wooded creeks and quiet inlets. The area is known for its horticulture, particularly daffodil growing, which shapes the springtime scenery. The annual Flora Day celebration in Helston, with its distinctive Furry Dance weaving through the streets and into local homes and businesses, defines the community calendar. The coastline here is largely undeveloped, with access to the South West Coast Path near Porthleven.
