["Cornwall and Scilly guidebooks","featured","new"]
This guidebook covers the coast from Maenporth to the famous sub-tropical gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan. Then on to Port Navas and the granite uplands beyond Constantine. We then return to the Meneage on the southern banks of the Helford and take in the hidden places like Frenchman's Creek and Gillan. Finally to Trelowaren, Tremayne Quay and St Anthony – some of Cornwall's most beautiful places. The book is full of helpful advice, detailed maps, descriptions and pictures.
The Friendly Guides set the gold standard for guides to Cornwall and they are an outstandingly efficient publisher.

A wonderful series of guides
Possibly the best series currently in print.The maps have legible writing,no microscope is necessary,& are easy to follow.All of the books in this series contain an absolute wealth of information&are a pleasure to read,&I hope that they will soon produce one for North Cornwall.I can't recommend it highly enough!

Friendly Guides excel again.
Yet another excellent guide book about their own County from this Cornish-based publisher. Clear and concise this latest volume takes us around the Helford River in the publisher/author's own thorough style. However, the one thing that puts this series of books in a league above all others are the maps. As a cartographer by training I consider that these maps must be the Gold Standard for any guide book - anywhere. Also, Friendly Guide's excellent service must be commended. Order placed on Wednesday, arrived in the post on Saturday. Keep up the good work.

Helford guide
Another excellent book from Friendly guides, a really comprehensive guide to the River Helford area containing everything you need to know. These are by far the best guides to the West & South Cornwall areas that you can buy.

Top guide to the Helford estuary.
This is such a helpful guide book to a very beautiful area, particularly because it is not so accessible. Parking tips much appreciated and excellent advice regarding the recommended walks. I think one of the best in the Friendly Guide series!
