PENTEWAN CORNWALL | Full tour of holiday seaside village Pentewan near St Austell, Cornwall. Pentewan in Cornwall boasts a dual identity: a charming coastal holiday village and a former port steeped in history. Here's a breakdown of its unique character: Pentewan nestles on the south coast of Cornwall, about 3 miles south of St Austell, at the mouth of the St Austell River. The village itself is a visual treat, with many older buildings constructed from the local Pentewan stone, lending a sense of timeworn charm. Pentewan's story stretches back centuries. Its name, derived from the Cornish language, translates to "foot of the radiant stream," hinting at its connection to the nearby river. The village's past is intertwined with various industries: Pentewan's beginnings involved a mix of activities - fishing, stone quarrying, tin streaming, and agriculture. A pivotal shift occurred when Sir Christopher Hawkins, a local landowner, redeveloped the harbor in the early 1800s. This era witnessed Pentewan's rise as a major china clay port, a vital industry in Cornwall. At its peak, the port shipped a third of Cornwall's china clay. The last trading ship left Pentewan in 1940, marking the end of an era. Today, Pentewan has transitioned into a popular tourist destination. Visitors are drawn to the beauty of the surrounding area, which is part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Here are some of Pentewan's present-day highlights: Pentewan Sands: A sparkling stretch of near-white sand, this beach is a haven for families and water sports enthusiasts. Pentewan Valley Trail: This scenic trail follows the route of the old Pentewan railway, offering a chance to explore the area by foot or bike. The Old Harbour: A reminder of Pentewan's industrial past, the old harbor, though no longer operational, adds a touch of historical charm to the village. Pentewan caters to a variety of interests. Whether you seek relaxation on the beach on your holiday, exploration along the trails, or a glimpse into the village's intriguing past, Pentewan offers a delightful Cornish experience. ► LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!
