The Beaches of East Cornwall - E22 - Polmear Beach
This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike. Location: South Coast - near St. Austell
The beach at Charlestown is called Polmear after the large island just to the south of the harbour. Indeed, the hamlet itself was called Polmear or West Polmear until it was developed by a certain Charles Rashleigh who developed the area to such an extent from the 1790's that it was renamed after him. The harbour was built to export copper ore from the local mines not as some may think China Clay! There are good cliff walks for enthusiasts southwest to Duporth and Porthpean and east towards Crinnis Beach (Carlyon Bay) and Par.
