Mylor Creek at low water
Resronguet Sailing Club near Mylor HarbourMylor Creek is a tidal ria in south Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is a tributary of Carrick Roads, the estuary of the River Fal and is situated approximately six miles (10 km) south of Truro and two miles (3 km) north of Falmouth [1].
The creek is in Mylor civil parish[2] and forms an inland tidal lake. It is approximately 800 feet (240 m) at its widest point and just over a mile (1.8 km) long from its tidal limit at Mylor Bridge to its mouth at Mylor Churchtown where it discharges into Carrick Roads[1].
Carrick Roads and Cornwall's English Channel coast are popular for yachting and dinghy racing. Restronguet Sailing Club (which takes its name from Restronguet Creek a mile to the north) has its base at Mylor Harbour[3], a large yacht marina immediately north of Mylor Churchtown[4]
