St Austell & Eden

St. Austell is the beating heart of Cornwall, with stunning beauty all around it, from the rugged panorama of the coastline, to the tranquil scenery of the countryside. Steeped in history, St. Austell is Cornwall’s largest town and as such plays host to one of its most famous attractions, The Eden Project. Despite this, it has still remained much of its quaint charm and beauty, the Clay Trails offering you the best views of this. After a recent £75 million redevelopment project, the town centre is the main hub of the town’s facilities, with everything from a collection of top high street stores to a multiplex cinema to keep you entertained.

Beginning life as a small market town in the Middle Ages, St. Austell grew into an industrial haven, with much of the town’s foundations being built on a thriving mining industry of tin, copper and crucially, china clay.

Today, St. Austell is a picturesque town with plenty to see and do during your stay, including walking, cycling and golf. Of course, no trip to St. Austell would be complete without taking in the splendour of the Eden Project, with its massive biomes full of exotic plants from across the globe.
