-Polkerris Beach
Though privately owned by the Menabilly Estate, Polkerris Beach is open to the public at all times. A number of waterspots are taught there by the Polkerris Beach Company.
- Par Harbour and China Clay Works
Par harbour was originally constructed in 1829 by Joseph Thomas Treffry to compete against Charlestown to serve the copper industry. On decline of the copper industry the china clay industries grew and used the port to export china clay. Until recently china clay was piped to the harbour in slurry form and dried in the large sheds (driers) before being exported. The harbour closed in 2008 and plans are proposed to build a new marina and residential area.
- The Statue at Par
Is one of three statues on the clay trail paths in Cornwall which depict images connected with the china clay industry.
The statue at Par was designed by Davis Paton following a workshop which involved young people from the local youth club. Carved from sandstone, it focuses on the impact of china clay products in our our daily lives, eg the use of china clay in the production of many items we use daily.
-Spit Beach
After the beach at Par we made our way inland through the village of Par and rejoined the coast path on the west side of the harbour at Spit Beach. (At present there is no public right of way via Par harbour).
- Carylon Bay
A beautiful beach area at present sadly marred by building works. Planning permission is currently in place for a large residential/commercial development but it is constantly being stalled by the developers and the illegal placement of a sea wall. Sadly public access is now restricted.
- Charlestown
The harbour village of Charlestown was a Georgian 'new town', a port development planned by local landowner Charles Rashleigh (after whom it was named) and built between 1790 and 1810 for the export of copper and china clay.
It has survived as a working port and a small amount of china clay is still exported, but today it is more well known as a film location due to the magnificant three square-rigged sailing ships which are moored in the harbour.
Charlestown and its original Grade II Listed Harbour, has largely escaped development and remains one of the finest and most fascinating places on the Cornish coast. Now part of a World Heritage Site, it attracts many visitors each year. (see also our video 'Charlestown' on CCArtsNow channel).

Places to see in ( Par - UK )
Par is a village and fishing port with a harbour on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated in the civil parish of Tywardreath and Par, although West Par and the docks lie in the parish of St Blaise. Par is approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of St Austell.
It became developed in the second quarter of the nineteenth century when the harbour was developed, to serve copper mines and other mineral sites in and surrounding the Luxulyan Valley; china clay later became the dominant traffic as copper working declined, and the harbour and the china clay dries remain as distinctive features of the industrial heritage; however the mineral activity is much reduced.
Par Harbour and the beach at Par Sands are south of the village, and the latter includes a large static caravan holiday park; another small beach is at Spit Point west of the harbour. Between these two beaches the South West Coast Path takes an inland diversion through the village. Par lies in a triangle of streets which form a one-way traffic system. There is a variety of shops, a post office, a public house and other businesses.
Before 1800 the village was a small group of houses below the cliff overlooking the mouth of the River Par; the river was crossed by a ferry. During the first years of the nineteenth century small scale workings of china stone, china clay (known as kaolinite outside the UK), copper and granite were developed. Joseph Austen, born 1782, was an important Fowey businessman; he later changed his name to Joseph Treffry, and as that name is much better known it is used here. He acquired an interest on many mines and pits, and he re-opened the dormant Lanescot copper mine on the hill overlooking Par, and developed it further. With adjacent workings it became the rich and highly productive Fowey Consols mine. Treffry sought to build a tramway connection to Fowey Harbour from his workings, but was unable to acquire the necessary land, and instead he decided to develop a harbour at Par.
o bring the copper ore to Par, Treffry built a canal from Pontsmill to Par by canalising the river; he constructed a tramway on an inclined plane from Fowey Consols down to Pontsmill, so that Par harbour became a key location in the transport chain. The harbour development led to the expansion of Par, and the community was detached from the parish of St Blaise (later St Blazey) in the mid 19th century.
A 450-foot (140 m) breakwater encloses 35 acres (14 ha) of water which is tidal with only 16 feet (4.9 m) depth of water and, unlike nearby Fowey, it cannot accommodate large ocean-going ships. The harbour is operated by the French mineral extraction company Imerys. Today china clay is piped to the harbour in slurry form; most is dried in large sheds before exporting either from Par or Fowey, the two being linked by a private road.
The first railway in Par was the southwards extension of Treffry Tramways, a horse-operated mineral railway that connected Molinnis and pits and quarries in the Luxulyan Valley with Par. This opened in 1865, replacing the canal. The Cornwall Railway opened from Plymouth to Truro on 4 May 1859 when Par railway station was opened to the north-east of Par, giving the village a connection to London.
Treffry's tramway was taken over by the Cornwall Minerals Railway (CMR). It was upgraded for locomotive operation and extended to form a link throughout to Newquay and Fowey. Par harbour continued in importance in the twentieth century; the restricted railway facilities on the site led to dedicated shunting locomotives, such as Bagnall 0-4-0ST Alfred and Judy, being built specially for the work. The railway line from Par to Fowey closed on 1 July 1968, and was converted to a private haul road linking the two harbours; it is now owned by Imerys. Par railway station is still open on the Cornish Main Line from Plymouth to Penzance.
