The curves of St Austell & Mevagissey Bays, golden with beaches are a haven for watersports and full of interest; Mevagissey's working fishing harbour, the nearby lazy suntraps of Portmellon & Gorran Haven, Caerhayes Castle proudly gazing across its own beach, the inland castle of Restormel and the River Fowey - from trout stream to the deep-water Port of Fowey town. And above them all - the white peaks of the China Clay industry above St Austell at the centre of the Cornish Rivier
