Resting four miles northeast of St Austell lies the small village of Luxulyan. The village is best known for the Luxulyan Valley, a beautiful wooded valley in which runs the river Par. It was designated as part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site in 2006 and is now owned by a local charity, helping to keep it beautiful. The village offers a small shop and post office, a local pub (The Kings Arms) and a granite church. There is also a village train station on the Atlantic Coast Line, running passenger trains between Newquay and Par. From Par, trains are available Northbound to Lostwithiel, Looe and Plymouth, or Southbound to Truro, Falmouth, St Ives and Penzance.
