St Austell - at the heart of the Duchy
St Austell, an historic market town at the heart of Cornwall is surrounded by sweeping coastline and picturesque countryside.
The town centre combines old and new with narrow streets and smart pedestrian precincts.
There is a fine selection of shops and plenty of nearby attractions whether you live here or are visiting on holiday.
The town retains much of its old character, providing an interesting combination of small shops and independent traders alongside well-known high street brands.
Alternatively, St Austell’s White River Place is an exciting and ultra-modern shopping centre that is an inviting option for the discerning shopper.
The Market House and Holy Trinity Church both sit at the top of Fore Street, providing a focal point for the town and are popular with visitors.
The town is easily accessible whether arriving by road or rail – the train and bus station has recently undergone a major makeover.
