Foxhole occupies a distinct position within Cornwall’s historic clay country, sitting about five miles west of St Austell on the shoulder of the Hensbarrow uplands. The village grew significantly during the 19th-century peak of the china clay industry, and that heritage is still visible today in the surrounding landscape of worked pits and white peaks. Geographically, it’s a high-lying, linear settlement that follows the B3271, offering wide views across the valley toward the coast on clear days. Practical life in the village centers around the local primary school, the community shop, and the social club, while the nearby Screeda and Drinnick pits serve as reminders of the area's industrial importance. It’s a place where the proximity to the rugged, open moorland of Goss Moor provides plenty of walking routes, yet it remains well-connected to the larger amenities of St Austell and the A30 corridor.
