SITUATION Charlestown is a picturesque coastal village renowned for its Georgian harbour built by local owner, Charles Rashleigh, and the number of tall ships that moor there. Used as a key location for the filming of Poldark, the village is well regarded for its variety of public houses, restaurants and galleries.
The South West Coast Path passes through the harbour and Charlestown is close to a plethora of pretty coves, coastal villages and the captivating scenery of the nearby Roseland Peninsula. For sailing enthusiasts there are clubs at Porthpean, Fowey and Pentewan, with golfers catered for at the cliff-top course at Carlyon Bay.
The nearby town of St Austell has a direct main line rail link with London Paddington whilst the Cathedral City of Truro forming the main commercial heart of the country, is around 15 miles distant. Newquay Airport on the north coast offers a number of daily flights to both national and international destinations.
