About Polgooth

Polgooth lies in Cornwall's china clay country, surrounded by the distinctive white spoil heaps that mark this former mining landscape. The village connects via the A391 from St Austell and sits just off the main A30 corridor. It's a popular stopping point for visitors exploring Cornwall's industrial heritage, with the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan nearby. The Polgooth Inn still displays original miners' lamps from the area's tin and clay mining heritage.
