Trelowth

Trelowth is a small Cornish hamlet that sits quietly in the heart of Cornwall, England. Just 2.3 miles (3.7 km) by road southwest of central St Austell, it makes a gentle, rural counterpoint to the bustle of the nearby town. The settlement nestles immediately to the northwest of Polgooth, offering a close-knit sense of place within the patchwork of lanes and fields that characterise this part of the county. As part of the parish of St Mewan, Trelowth belongs to a wider local community with roots in Cornwall’s landscape and history. Visitors passing through will find its modest scale part of its appeal: a peaceful stopping point or a base from which to explore neighbouring villages and St Austell’s amenities a short drive away. For anyone seeking a quieter corner of Cornwall to discover, Trelowth’s unassuming presence and convenient location to Polgooth and St Austell make it a quietly rewarding place to include on a Cornish itinerary.
