3About Porcupine
Porcupine lies in Cornwall's china clay country, surrounded by the distinctive white spoil heaps that characterise this former mining landscape. The A3082 provides the main access, connecting eastward to the A390 near Saint Blazey for onward routes to Saint Austell and the A30. With approximately 60 public EV chargers nearby, it's well-positioned for electric vehicle travel. The village's curious name derives from the spiky gorse that once blanketed the local hills.
