Helston is a historic market town in Cornwall, situated at the northern end of the Lizard Peninsula. The town is known for its annual Flora Day celebration, a centuries-old tradition held in May featuring the famous Furry Dance through the streets.

As one of Cornwall's oldest towns, Helston played a significant role in the region's tin mining industry during the 18th and 19th centuries. The town center features well-preserved Georgian and Victorian architecture, including the Guildhall and the Monument, which houses a clock said to have been a gift from King William IV.

Cultural heritage is an important aspect of Helston's identity, with various historical buildings and local traditions contributing to its distinctive character. The town maintains strong connections to its maritime heritage through its proximity to the Helford River and its historical relationship with RNAS Culdrose, one of Europe's largest naval air stations.
