SITUATION 

The village of Foxhole offers a range of local amenities including village stores and post office, health centre, fish and chips, primary school and recreational ground. These are supplemented further by the town of St Austell, about 5 miles to the east, where there is a station on the London Paddington line. Surrounding the town and other neighbouring villages is a landscape well known for its clay tips and pits, created by the 250 year old clay mining industry. The 'Clay Trails', are a network of trails throughout mid-Cornwall suitable for walking, cycling and horse riding and demonstrate the area's great contrast and beauty.
