Restormel is a borough of Cornwall, United Kingdom, one of the six administrative divisions that make up the county. Its council is based in St Austell. Other places include Newquay.

The borough is named for Restormel Castle. It was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by a merger of the borough of St. Austell with Fowey, Newquay urban district and St Austell Rural District.

The motto of the borough in Cornish- Ro an mor hag an tyr, means From the sea and from the land, and recognises the Borough's connection with the sea (fishing and tourism) and the land (china clay and agriculture).

St Austell, the largest settlement in Cornwall, does not have a Parish/Town Council.

[edit] Twinning

Restormel is twinned by oath, which can be viewed in the council offices in St Austell, with Kreis Dithmarschen. This used to be part of the borough council, however in recent years it has become a separate organisation.
