Polmassick (Cornish: Ponsmasek)[1] is a hamlet in the civil parish of St Ewe in Cornwall, England. It is about half a mile southwest of St Ewe Churchtown.[2] A stream of the same name flows through the area, which is inhabited by trout.[3]
Economy[edit]
Polmassick Winery, with a vineyard of 2.5 acres, was established in the village in 1978, the first commercial vineyard to be planted in the county. It has been run by Barbara Musgrave since 1986.[4]
Kastlah Deer Farm sells venison, poultry and guinea fowl at the market in St Austell.[5]
There are several self-catering and B&B cottages, including those of Kilbol Country House Hotel[6] and Mill Cottage.[7]
