Hewas Water

Hewas Water sits quietly in mid Cornwall, a small hamlet that rewards gentle curiosity. Tucked off the A390 near the village of Sticker, it lies about 3 miles (5 km) west-southwest of St Austell, making it an easy detour from one of Cornwall’s busier centres. Part of the civil parish of St Mewan, Hewas Water offers a glimpse of rural life in the county of Cornwall within the South West region. Its PL26 postcode places it squarely in the local postal district while its proximity to Sticker and St Austell means amenities and coastal attractions are within reach. Visitors passing along the A390 often find themselves drawn to the unhurried pace here, where lanes and local lanes unfold into the surrounding countryside. Whether you pause for a quiet walk or simply enjoy the view from the roadside, Hewas Water is a modest, welcoming settlement that embodies the quieter charms of mid Cornwall.
