The Eden Project is an educational charity and social enterprise. Twenty years ago, they transformed this old china clay pit into an amazing rainforest and desert biome. The park is paid entry but really worth it. This trail isn't paid entry and follows the top of the quarry so that you can see down over the huge domes.

The Wheal Martin trail follows the old china clay railway line from St Austal towards the china clay quarries to the north. It's a nice gravel multiuser trail that is part of NCN2. The trail follows the St Austell River through woodland.

The landscape here is dominated by the huge open pit china clay works. This trail follows the southern rim of the quarry. It's an interesting landscape to explore. The China Clay trail has been set up to allow you to wonder around safely.
