EasyMalc Says: This museum is a must for anyone who loves looking at treasure trove brought up from the seabed.There are other distractions here as well but it is this collection that you’ll want to spend most of your time looking at.The tour of the museum starts with a walk through a...
EasyMalc Says: Situated 2 miles south-east of St. Austell town centre in St. Austell Bay, Charlestown is a most enjoyable place to visit.If you want to use public transport then Western Greyhound operate buses from near the railway station and drop you off at The Rashleigh Arms, where you...

freya_heaven Says: Hemp has been used or Milleniums for its medicinal and relaxant properties. Also it is a very strong product for rope, clothes, boat sail and bank notes among others.We were surprised to see hemp being grown so openly here, apparently Eden needed a special licence to grow it...

Sjalen Says: Not just one of Cornwall's top attractions, but in fact one of ENGLAND'S most visited places, Eden Project is a very special place. I am not a gardening type at all since I am too lazy, but I love the outdoors and care about the environment so I thought Eden would have to be...
Loops Says: The Eden Project was a big disappointment for our family - far too expensive, small, cramped and too many people allowed in at once. If you're happy to pay over £15 to shuffle around behind 8,000 other people and having to queue for absolutely everything, then it is the...

Lost Gardens of Heligan - Exceeds expectations
cmak Says: This is by-far one of the best outings I have come across in Cornwall! It totally blew me away with its beauty and what it has to offer. I enjoyed the walk around the land, and landing mud sculptures was so much fun.This is not just a garden, but a garden with long lost...
Ken-out-of-Bath Says: What can I say about The Eden Project? I have been a few times with friends and visitors to England without saying where we were going. When people walk down to the Biomes for the first time, not expecting anything like this, they just stop and go, "Wow!"What the Eden...

(K 634) - Bay-class Frigate
Loch Class Anti-Submarine Frigate was ordered from Harland and Wolff of Belfast in February 1943 to be built in Liverpool, however this was later cancelled and the ship was laid down in May 1944 at Belfast as Admiralty Job Number J3391 (YARD No, 1249) and was to be named Loch Lydoch. However after a policy change to meet the requirement for anti-aircraft escorts for the Far East the contract was changed to a design for the Bay Class. The ship was launched as HMS St Austell Bay in November 1944 as the first Royal Navy ship to carry the name. Build was completed in May 1945. HMS St Austell Bay was laid-up in the Reserve Fleet at Plymouth until 1959 when she was placed on the Disposal List. Sold to BISCO for demolition by Ship-breaking Industries and arrived in tow at the breakers yard at Charlestown near Rosyth in 1959.

science meets art and technology in the living theatre of plants and people
We returned not so long ago from a day out to the Eden Project during our Cornish holiday. Coming soon will be transport and accommodation tips for the area, plus photos from our visit. Stay tuned!
St Austell is a meeting point of old and new Cornwall, of ancient, narrow streets and smart pedestrian precincts with fine shops. Little more than a hamlet of houses with a church for much of its...
