The creek is in Mylorcivil 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]
At the entrance to the creek was the most westerly naval dockyard and victualling station in Britain, which, at high tide, covered 66 acres (27 ha) of water.[3] During the second half of the 19th-century it was the base for HMS Ganges, a training ship for boys, and also the Falmouth Packets. During World War II the harbour was a base for operations conducted by the French Resistance. It is now home to the last remaining fleet of oyster fishermen.[4]
