Five Million Tides is a captivating tale that unfolds along the enchanting Helford River in Cornwall, spanning from the Stone Age to the dawning of the twenty-first century. This remarkable account delves into the history of the Helford, revealing a fascinating truth: during the Iron Age and Roman periods, the river emerged as one of the most significant waterways in Europe. Despite its status as a southernmost safe haven on the mainland of Britain, the Helford has not always been a place of prosperity. Once a thriving center of Celtic Christianity, it eventually became synonymous with lawless seafarers. Moreover, the river could not always provide refuge from every storm, as evidenced by the graves of mariners in its village churchyards. While the Helford may be overshadowed by its more famous sibling estuaries, it is a captivating beauty within the family whose rich past deserves to be better known and appreciated.
