St. Austell - 5-10 miles
St. Austell is a busy market town, built on the financial rewards from one of Cornwall's traditional industries - the china-clay industry.
The 15th century Holy Trinity Church at the centre of the town is unusual for Cornwall with its finely decorated tower with sculptured figures. The interior is also unusual, with a distinct bend in the axis of the church - Definitely worth a visit.
The near by Wheal Martyn China Clay and Country Park is a beautiful site with woodland walks and spectacular views. There is an Historic Trail, Nature Trail, New Exhibitions and Cornwall's largest Water Wheel - Ideal for family trips and day excursions.
St. Austell Brewery, Cornwall's oldest independent family brewery, established over 140 years ago offers a range of guided tours. Many original traditions and skills remain at the heart of the beers today. Follow the brewing process from row ingredients through to sampling the traditional ales.
St. Austell is currently under redevelopment but has a range of smaller shops and high street brands to visit.
