CHARLESTOWN CORNWALL | Fuil Tour of historic Charlestown in Cornwall England

CHARLESTOWN CORNWALL | A full tour of Charlestown village from beach to harbour and port. Charlestown, nestled on Cornwall's southern coastline near St Austell, is a captivating testament to a bygone era of maritime trade and industrial ambition. Its heart lies in its impeccably preserved Georgian harbor, a feature that sets it apart from many other coastal villages. Originally a modest fishing settlement known as West Polmear, the transformation of Charlestown began in the late 18th century under the vision of Charles Rashleigh. He sought to create a functional port that could handle the burgeoning trade of copper from the region's mines, and later, the export of china clay, a resource that would shape the area's economy. The harbor's construction, with its sturdy granite quays and lock gates, reflects the engineering prowess of the period, and it remains a remarkable example of its kind. The harbor's enduring charm is amplified by the presence of a fleet of historic tall ships, vessels that evoke the golden age of sail. These ships are not merely museum pieces; they often participate in maritime festivals and events, adding a dynamic layer to Charlestown's historical atmosphere. Their presence provides a tangible link to the past, allowing visitors to imagine the bustling activity that once filled the harbour. The village's authenticity has also made it a favored location for film and television productions, most famously the BBC's adaptation of "Poldark." The period setting, the weathered stone of the harbor, and the timeless quality of the surrounding landscape all contribute to its appeal as a cinematic backdrop. Beyond the harbor, Charlestown offers a variety of attractions that cater to visitors seeking a taste of Cornish life. The village's narrow streets and traditional buildings house a selection of pubs, restaurants, and shops, providing opportunities for relaxation and exploration. The Shipwreck Treasure Museum is a significant draw, showcasing artifacts recovered from shipwrecks along the Cornish coast, offering a glimpse into the perils and rewards of maritime life. The museum's collection tells stories of both tragedy and resilience, highlighting the historical significance of the sea to the region. The surrounding coastline, with its rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, offers opportunities for walking and exploring, and the area's designation as part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site underscores its historical and industrial importance. This recognition acknowledges the area's contribution to the global mining industry and the lasting impact it had on the landscape and communities of Cornwall. Charlestown, in its entirety, is a place where history, natural beauty, and a sense of timelessness converge. I hope you enjoyed this Charlestown walking tour.
