Quay at mouth of Frenchman's Creek, near to Helford, Cornwall, Great Britain. On the western bank of Frenchman's Creek, just at the confluence with the Helford River. Annotated as "Quay" on the OS as opposed to the "Old Quay" on the opposite bank.

Groyne Point, Helford River Groyne Point in the middle, the main Helford River to the left, and Polwheveral Creek to the right. Unfortunately one would need to be about 20 feet tall to see the seaward end of Groyne Point.

Helford Village The part of the village on the eastern bank of the creek. Taken from the public footpath which runs along the foreshore at this point, accessible of course only at low water, as here.

Old Quay, Frenchman's Creek The quay is on the west bank of the Creek, as the creek opens out onto the Helford River. Despite its "Old" title it is still used by local fishing boats for landing their catches.
