St Austell ​in Cornwall

The old market town of St Austell is is one of the largest towns in Cornwall. St Austell is named after the 6th century Cornish saint, St Austol, a disciple of St Mewan. In a Vatican manuscript there is a 10th century list of Cornish parish saints. This includes Austoll, which means that the church and village existed at that time, shortly after 900. It was an important mining town but it was a discovery of kaolin in the mid 18th century that really put the town on the map. 

William Cookworthy, a chemist from Devon, discovered massive deposits of kaolin or china clay in the area. Used in not only the production of porcelain but a whole host of industries including paper, pharmecuticals and textiles. The extraction of china clay became the mainstay of local industry and accelerated the growth of the town from the eighteenth century onwards. 

The china clay industry is now in decline with cheaper foreign sources now being used. However the industry not only changed the town itself but has left its mark on the landscape around St Austell. The Cornish Alps as they are sometimes referred to are the spoils from the clay pits which form large, originally white, conical mounds. Over recent years some of these have been lanscaped and flattened to from a less surreal landscape.

Founded in 1851 by Cornishman Walter Hicks, today St Austell Brewery remains 100% independent and family owned. St Austell Brewery is one of Cornwall’s largest employers with over 1,000 full and part time employees, 300 working in our brewing, distribution and head office functions and 700 serving customers in St Austell Brewery’s 25 managed pubs, hotels and inns.

Perhaps the towns biggest draw is the Eden Project, only 2 miles away. Eden is now, without doubt, the most popular single tourist attraction in Cornwall. Interestingly enough the biomes were built in an old china clay pit. There has been much written about the environmental and righteous motives of the Eden Project, however there is plenty of evidence to the contrary along with the fact that it has certainly increased traffic in the area!

St Austell’s port is the lovely harbour of Charlestown, where you will frequently see old sailing ships. The port has been used as a film location for numerous films and television series, such as Poldark, and there is a small museum open during the season.

Within easy reach of St Austell are the old fishing ports of Fowey and Mevagissey.
