Saint Blazey

This small Cornish town whose parish boundary takes in the Eden Project, the internationally visited botanical attraction built inside a former quarry, as well as a stretch of coastline onto St Austell Bay and Par Harbour. Once a centre for mining and railway engineering, St Blazey sits a short distance east of St Austell, with rural areas to the north-west and scenic surrounds that draw visitors passing through to the wider region.
