Discovery QuaySounds a bit boring but it’s not. A great educational attraction, it gives a fantastic history of the China clay industry around St Austell as well as an insight into the way of life of those that worked in the clay pits. Well worth the visit and only a 10 minute drive from Periwinkle.
