The ward of St Austell Bethel & Holmbush sits on the western side of St Austell in Cornwall, England, covering the residential neighbourhoods of Bethel and Holmbush. It borders the town’s retail and light‑industrial zones and enjoys good road and rail connections via the nearby St Austell railway station and the A390, making it well placed for commuting around the county.
Like much of central Cornwall, the area’s character has been shaped by the china clay industry, with heritage attractions such as the nearby Wheal Martyn museum and visible post‑industrial landscapes. Today the ward is a mix of housing, local businesses and retail parks, benefits from proximity to visitor draws such as the Eden Project and Charlestown harbour, and has an active community involved in local regeneration and social projects.
