Charlestown
A well-preserved Georgian harbour where replica tall ships are moored. It has served as a filming location for Poldark and other period dramas.
Charlestown Harbour was built in the late 18th century to export china clay. The harbour basin, lock gates and quays have largely retained their Georgian appearance, and the port is part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. Replica tall ships are usually moored in the harbour, and it has been a filming location for the TV series Poldark and several films.
Beside the harbour, the Shipwreck Treasure Museum displays artefacts recovered from wrecks. There are pubs and cafés on the waterfront, and a small pebble beach nearby. It is about 5 km from the Eden Project, so the two can easily be combined.
