Pentewan Cornwall Map

About Pentewan

Pentewan, a Cornish jewel, unfolds its story beside the sea. It lies 5.2 km south of St Austell (from St Austell: bearing 176°T, OS grid SX 016 472), and is situated north of Mevagissey village. The village traces its lineage back to a thriving harbour, where the gentle murmur of waves once accompanied the bustling trade of china clay, its pale dust a signature of the land. Today, the former industrial heartland is softened by the verdant embrace of the surrounding landscape, where the light often catches the dew-kissed bracken with a pearlescent sheen. A quiet charm pervades Pentewan, a sense that the echoes of its past are woven into the very air, mingling with the salty tang carried on the breeze from the nearby coast. The river, a silver ribbon through the valley, still flows towards the sea, a constant reminder of the village's enduring connection to the water.
