If you have never before been to Charlestown, you have missed a real treat!

It has largely escaped development and remains one of the finest and most fascinating places on the Cornish coast.

Built in 1790, the village is home to an original Georgian working harbour; a small amount of china clay is still exported in an average of 30-40 ships a year. As a result, Charlestown retains both charm and identity.

The harbour is the home port for a famous collection of tall ships which are employed in film projects all over the world, as well as Charlestown itself being a popular location for films and television programmes. These have included ‘Persuasion’, ‘The Eagle has Landed’ and the 1990s version of ‘The Three Musketeers’.

The ships and the town have brought work and life to the quays and harbour buildings and are a particular draw for visitors.

Relaxing with a drink outside the Pier House Hotel and watching the ships in the harbour as the sun sets, is a perfect way to end your day.

You won’t need to get the car out to find somewhere good to eat, as within easy walking distance of the house there are two pubs which serve food and excellent local ales, as well as a restaurant which specialises in locally caught fish. ‘Charlie’s’ across the road serves breakfasts, light meals and cream teas. You can buy delicious pasties at the local kiosk and locally made ice creams.
There are craft shops, a gift shop and a gallery too. There is also a fascinating Shipwreck and Heritage Centre.

You can pick up the coast path in Charlestown, which offers some of the county's most spectacular view points.

Golfers are very well catered for too – Carlyon Bay golf course, Porthpean golf course and St Austell golf course are all just minutes away.

There is a sailing club at Porthpean, the next village along, and of course there is no shortage of beautiful beaches all within a short driving distance.

The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just a short drive away, as are the towns of Mevagissey and Fowey.

St Austell, just a couple of minutes by car, has all local town amenities, including two 24 hour superstores.

Slightly further away, but still under an hour by car, are Padstow and Rick Stein’s restaurants, and Jamie Oliver’s ‘15’ in Newquay. In fact, Charlestown is in a great location to explore the whole of this beautiful county.
