Gweek, Lizard Peninsula
Cornish for 'forest village'
Gweek has charming scenery around the Helford River and is close to the town of Helston.
The village has a good pub, The Black Swan, as well as a general store whilst nearby Helston offers resturants and supermarkets.
The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek is where injured seals or pups seperated from their mothers are brought for treatment, rehabilitation and hopefully release. It is also home to some non-indigenous species such as Sea Lions along with a variety of other animals, including otters and farm animals.
