St Austell

St Austell is one of the largest towns in Cornwall and is known for being the home of China Clay mining as well as the beautiful coastline of St Austell Bay. The town is a short distance from the world-famous Eden Project and also boasts St Austell Brewery which has been brewing Cornish ale since 1851. Its surrounding area includes the port of Charlestown which has become a favourite location for TV shows and movies including Poldark and Doctor Who. You can join our St Austell Facebook group here.
