Polgooth Cornwall Map

About Polgooth

Polgooth, a Cornish village, carries the quiet hum of its past industry beneath a sky that often holds the scent of the sea. It lies 2.7 km south-west of St Austell (from St Austell: bearing 222°T, OS grid SW 995 504), and is situated east-south-east of Trelowth village. Once a significant hub for tin and copper mining, the land around Polgooth still bears the subtle scars of that labour, now softened by the persistent green of agricultural fields and hedgerows. The air here possesses a peculiar stillness, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the sigh of wind through the scattered trees. Even in the dappled light that filters through the leaves, one can sense the deep roots of this place, a quiet resilience in its stone cottages and the patient turning of the seasons. The gentle slope of the land hints at the unseen streams and watercourses that once powered the mines, now a murmuring undercurrent to the everyday life of Polgooth.
