Often overlooked is Gunwalloe Parish Church, dedicated to Cornish saint St. Winwalloe. The bell tower is separate from the main building and is built over a natural cave in the bluff behind the church. Bell ringers stand in the cave to ring the bells. Some will tell you that Loe Pool was where Arthur's sword was returned to the Lady of the Lake. The Pool was not there in Arthurs time. The bar built up later. Helston was once accessable from the sea.

Albert, my son. I though the sword Excalibur was returned to Dozmary Pool up on Bodmin moor?
