TREGONY
Known as the gateway to the Roseland Peninsula -Tregony was an active port in the 14th century surrounded by busy woollen mills producing a rough serge known as Tregony Cloth. Craft of considerable size could navigate the River Fal right up to Tregony Bridge long before the Ports of Truro, Penryn and Falmouth were developed. However, due to tin streaming in the St. Stephen area the river eventually silted up and the wharves became unusable. Part of the ancient quay may still be seen.

A restoration grant has recently been received from the Millennium Commission for work to be carried out on Tregony's unique clock tower.
As you climb up Tregony Hill you pass the site of a 12th century castle known as Treg-ney, the origin of the village's name. Modern Tregony offers the visitor a choice of accommodation within a thriving village community.
