At the epicentre of Cornwall's china clay industry, St Austell combines heritage, contemporary commerce and tourism in one neat package. The town grew in the mid-1700s after the discovery of valuable china clay, known as white gold, in the area. Used initially in pottery, today Cornwall's china clay is shipped all over the world as an additive to everything from tyres to toothpaste. Situated about a mile from the coast and within easy access to the Eden Project and Heligan Gardens, the town's main streets are home to both local and national retailers. The recently opened chic shopping centre, White River Place, incorporates a state of the art four-screen cinema and a range of pubs, restaurants and cafes. At the historic core of the town is the fine Holy Trinity Parish Church and opposite, the Italianate facade of the Market House. The town also has a modern leisure centre with sports hall, swimming pool and squash courts.
The Eden Project. Now one of the most famous attractions in the world, a visit to Cornwall would not be complete without walking through the tropical biome in wonder at the amazing plants that tower above you.
Pop into the St Austell Brewery Visitor Centre near the main railway station. It's an interactive museum telling the story of the pubs, beers, wines and spirits of Cornwall and the families who created them.
At the Georgian village of Charlestown a mile away visit the Charlestown Shipwreck Centre packed to the gunnels with historical artefacts relating to HMS Victory, Titanic, smugglers and pirates making it the largest private collection of its type on public display in Europe.
Learn all about the china clay industry at Wheal Martyn Museum and Country Park an excellent open air museum dedicated to the area's all-encompassing industry. Apart from displays of bygone work practices, you can see the breathtakingly massive modern working pits that use high-pressure hoses to blast the clay from the ground.
Pinetum Park on the outskirts of the town is packed with exotic plants that grown in a unique microclimate. Painstakingly cultivated by ray and Shirley Clemo and planted out with seeds brought pack from their travels across the world, Pine Lodge is a gardener's paradise.
For older kids and teens Kidzworld and Cornish Market World complex is a covered outdoor leisure area with full size dodgems, mini-golf, foam shooters, pool tables, arcade games, table tennis and lots more.
Get some lucky strikes at the 8 lane at Ozzell Tenpin Bowling near the town centre. Open 12 hours a day during school holidays.
There is a new cycle/walking path that takes the old mineral tram route from the town centre all the way to the Eden Project just under 7 miles away. On route you'll pass a bizarre landscape of disused china clay pits, bright white walls and luminous turquoise water. It's all looks a bit lunar and although a far cry from Cornwall's more picturesque image, is quite fascinating.
