Local information

Gardening in St Austell and Newquay

St Austell and Newquay joins two quite different towns. Newquay sits on the north coast with Porth, Pentire and St Columb Minor. St Austell faces south towards Mevagissey, Fowey and Par. The clay country villages of Roche, Bugle and St Dennis lie between. Cornwall Council runs the paid garden bin service and both local tips. Each tip is booked in advance and also takes paid trade loads.1 2 3 4 5 6
