Charlestown

Scars to stars

Charlestown

Charlestown’s harbour holds tales tougher than its granite. Mines and clay pits closed, leaving scars—families fought, yet stood firm. Today, this cove thrives, its 1700s quay humming with neighbours’ warmth. Cafes brew stories, shops mend nets, kids chase waves where Poldark’s ships docked. No mere set, it’s Cornwall’s pulse—grit turned glow. By our cottage, I feel their strength, sipping tea with locals. Not just history, it’s home. Meet Charlestown’s heart, then wander St Austell’s brews or Mevagissey’s tides. Join us, not a guidebook, but a shared thread.
