The village

Harbour, heritage and a living village

Charlestown is a preserved Georgian harbour on St Austell Bay, built around the trade in copper and china clay. Its granite quays, old warehouses and close-set cottages still give the village a strong sense of place.

Today the harbour is both a historic setting and a real visitor destination: a place for maritime stories, food, a slow wander and a route towards the beaches and coast path beyond.

Before you go

Plan your Charlestown visit

01

Arrive ready to walk

The harbour and surrounding streets are best explored on foot; allow for uneven surfaces and changes in level.

02

Allow a proper visit

Build time for the harbour, museum, food and the wider coast rather than making it only a photo stop.

03

Use St Austell as your base

The nearby main town is the practical connection for wider transport, services and a longer day out.
