Polmear Cornwall Map

About Polmear

Polmear, a quiet Cornish hamlet, exhales the lingering scent of brine and marshland. It lies 2.3 km east-south-east of St Blazey (from St Blazey: bearing 123°T, OS grid SX 087 534), and is situated east-south-east of Par village. The land here, a gentle sweep towards the sea, is often touched by a peculiar, pearlescent light, particularly in the late afternoon, as if the sky itself has been brushed with mother-of-pearl. The sparse cottages of Polmear seem to hunker down against the persistent sea breeze, their stone walls weathered by countless seasons. A sense of quiet industry once permeated these lanes, tied to the extraction and transport of china clay, the fine white powder that still whispers through the landscape. Today, the primary rhythm of Polmear is dictated by the tides and the passage of gulls overhead, a subtle but enduring cadence.
