Historic Port of Charlestown

9

Charlestown (Cornish: Porth Meur, meaning great cove) is a village and port on the south coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom, and in the civil parish of St Austell Bay. It is situated approximately 2 miles (3 km) south east of St Austell town centre.

The port at Charlestown developed in the late 18th century from the fishing village of West Polmear. Whereas other areas of St Austell have seen much development during the 20th century, Charlestown has remained relatively unchanged.

Guests' reviews

Lovely little harbour .Well worth a visit. The poldark exhibition was very good and cheap £3 each got to go on the boat. Lots of places to drink and eat. Don't forget cash for car parks as no machines seem to take cards. And 20p for the loo
