What the St Austell run usually involves
St Austell sits on the southern side of the county, about ten miles below Bodmin, so this route crosses Cornwall from the north coast to the south rather than running along it.
The Eden Project is what brings most visitors this way. It is a full day out, and the walk back to a distant car park at the end of it is nobody's favourite part.
St Austell station is on the main line, which makes it an alternative to Truro for rail connections depending on where you are heading. Worth checking both before you book the taxi.
Charlestown and its harbour are a short way on from the town, and the area's china clay history is still visible in the landscape on the way in.
The journey is around 16 miles and roughly 28 minutes. Because it is a cross-county run rather than a local hop, it is one worth booking in advance rather than on the day.
