About the location
ST AUSTELL
Pentewan 4 miles; Charlestown 1.5 miles; Truro 15 miles.
Just a short drive from the pretty south Cornish coast, St Austell is one of the largest towns in Cornwall.
The landscape around St Austell is rich in kaolin (china clay) and this once made the region extremely prosperous.
Today, the china clay industry is in decline and tourism has become the mainstay of income for St Austell and its surrounding parishes.
St Austell town centre is home to a range of independent and well-known shops, an undercover shopping centre and a Local Produce Market, which takes place every Friday and Saturday.
There is also a range of excellent restaurants, cafes and inns – from traditional country pubs to 2 AA rosette fine dining.
Just outside St Austell is the iconic Eden Project, as well as the award-winning Lost Gardens of Heligan, Kidzworld, and the Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum.
There are some beautiful beaches in this area, too – many with good kayaking conditions – and many miles of coastal footpath to explore.
The mainly traffic-free Pentewan Cycle Trail runs from St Austell to Pentewan; here you can enjoy a bite to eat at the village pub or beach burger shack before making your return journey to St Austell.
One of St Austell’s main events is the Torchlight Carnival which takes place each November – and of course, the World Pasty Championships, which are held at the Eden Project each March!.
