Tregony

Tregony is a small town on the River Fal, about 8 miles east of Truro on the road toward the Roseland. It was a significant medieval port, sending representatives to Parliament and trading in tin and cloth, but silting of the river ended its maritime role by the 17th century. The wide main street reflects its former market town status; the clock tower dates from the 16th century. Today the town has a post office, a gallery, and some local shops, though it functions more as a local service village than a tourist destination.

The Roseland coast - including Portscatho, Portloe, and Veryan Bay - is about 5 miles south. Truro, with its cathedral and full range of shopping and services, is about 8 miles west on the A3078. The Fal valley between Tregony and Truro is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with wooded creek walks accessible from Ruan Lanihorne (about 3 miles south-west) where the tidal Fal is still navigable by small boats.

Veryan village, known for its five round houses built to prevent the devil from finding a corner to hide in, is about 3 miles south. Holiday accommodation near Tregony is in converted farm buildings and cottages, positioned between the inland Fal valley and the Roseland coast.
