Step back in time at Charlestown - St Austell.
The many and varied exhibitions to be found here reflect village life in Charlestown,
it's history, shipwrecks and the once thriving China Clay industry.
The exhibitions show a tremendous range of maritime history.
This picturesque village has been used in many movies and TV series.
The harbour provides a permanent berth for square-riggers. The Shipwreck and Heritage
Centre, is entered through tunnels which were used to convey the clay to the docks.
A really authentic time-travel experience!
