About

St Blazey ward encompasses the town of St Blazey and its immediate rural surroundings, situated near the tidal estuary of the River Par. The area's landscape is characterised by former mining land now largely reclaimed by woodland, with residential streets extending towards these green edges. Local commerce is centred along the main road, serving the community's daily needs. The ward functions as a residential settlement with historical ties to the local china clay industry, which has shaped its development.

A notable feature is the presence of the Luxulyan Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site within its boundaries, containing significant industrial archaeology like the Treffry Viaduct. The area includes Par Moor, a nature reserve on old mining ground, and is traversed by the Saints' Way footpath. The ward's geography is defined by its position between the urban area of St Austell and the more rural parishes to the west, maintaining a distinct identity.
