Saint Austell in the United Kingdom is a meeting point of old and new Cornwall with its narrow ancient streets, small pedestrian areas and the industrial St. Austell Bay that brings many ships to its marinas. The 18th century brought a new life to this town with the discovery of koalin, or China clay, which is one of the major ingredients in porcelain. Visitors can find activities such as golf, swimming, sailing or chartering a boat for the day. Hotels in St. Austell range from historic buildings in the center of town to sprawling cliff-top buildings with views over St. Austell Bay.
