The St Austell River runs south from that town to the sea at Pentewan. In 1826 a horse-worked tramway was built alongside the river as part of a plan to develop the harbour at Pentewan. The course of the tramway is now occupied by an excellent cycle path. This scene shows the river and cycle path near Nansladron.
