Boscoppa

Boscoppa sits within the amalgamation of St Austell in Cornwall, quietly carrying the echoes of its past as it settles into a suburban role. Once a separate village, Boscoppa has become a suburb of St Austell, positioned to the west of the recently built A391 bypass road. The settlement occupies ground in a former mining area, giving its streets and surroundings a sense of layered history that hints at the industrial heritage beneath. Located in the PL25 postcode district, in Cornwall’s South West, Boscoppa offers a close-in perspective on the changing face of a community that has moved from village life toward suburban Charlotte of a larger town. For visitors drawn to Cornwall’s towns beyond the well-trodden coastal vistas, Boscoppa provides a quieter, more domestic snapshot of local life and landscape — one shaped by its mining roots and modern connections via the nearby A391. It is an understated part of St Austell’s broader tapestry, where past and present sit side by side.
