Discovery QuaySounds a bit boring but it’s not. A great educational attraction, it gives a fantastic history of the China clay industry around St Austell as well as an insight into the way of life of those that worked in the clay pits. Well worth the visit and only a 10 minute drive from Periwinkle.

Magnificent late Victorian country house estate with extensive (and very beautiful) gardens and woodland. Small enough to feel cosy but large enough to feel opulent. Definitely worth a visit!
