The beautiful fishing harbour of Charlestown was built in the late 18th Century by local businessman Charles Rashleigh. The harbour was originally used to ship out the Cornish China Clay from St Austell, but today the harbour is now famous as the mooring place of several Tall Ships.

The ships and the unaltered Georgian harbour give the location a very original and historic feel, and the location has been used for several TV and film productions including ‘The Eagle Has Landed’, ‘Moll Flanders’, ‘Return to Treasure Island’, ‘The Three Musketeers’ and many more.

Charles Rashleigh is honoured locally and as well as the town, the local pub even bears his name; ‘The Rashleigh Arms’ which is just a short walk from the harbour and offers real ale and good food.  With the sandy beaches available either on foot or by car, and the short distance to nearby attractions and villages such as Mevagissey, Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the town of St. Austell, Charlestown is a popular destination for many people visiting Cornwall.
