Luxulyan in Cornwall, England is a small rural village and civil parish a few miles north‑east of St Austell and close to Par. The community is centred on a historic parish church dedicated to St Sulien, and its economy has long been shaped by agriculture and the nearby mineral and china‑clay industries; today residents combine local work with commuting and a modest amount of tourism.
What really draws interest is the dramatic Luxulyan Valley - a steep, wooded gorge criss‑crossed by 19th‑century leats, tramways and the impressive granite Treffry Viaduct built to carry a tramway and water. The valley’s mix of industrial archaeology and wildlife is protected and popular with walkers, forming part of the wider Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site that highlights the region’s mining heritage.
