About Tregony

Tregony lingers on Roseland’s inland, nestled near the Fal River, where the tides once carried merchants’ wool and tin to far shores. A medieval port, it hummed with the bustle of trade, its market filling the air with the clink of coin and chatter. Yet, as rivers silted and trade routes shifted, the vibrant port gave way to a quieter life by the 1700s. Today, the clock tower ticks steadily over winding lanes, the Kings Arms pours pints from its 1700s stone walls, and the spire of St Cuby’s Church keeps watch over the village, guarding memories of times gone by.

In Tregony, no boats bob like in Portloe, and no grand halls echo with laughter like those in Veryan. Instead, it is a place where echoes of the past are gently woven into the present. The Roseland Peninsula holds onto its ghostly memories of trade, where the flow of history is kept close, as if the land itself remembers the lives of those who once called it home.

Today, Tregony breathes softly. Pub quizzes spark friendly competition, the local Londis hums with the rhythm of daily life, and locals greet one another with a nod as the tower’s chimes call out the hour. Take a stroll through the village’s crossroads, sip a drink by the fire, and feel time drift peacefully by. There’s no quay like that of St Mawes, no nets like those of Portloe—just the warmth and quiet resilience of life, weathered but enduring.

Stay a while in Tregony’s village nooks, where the slow pulse of history wraps around you. Sketch the tower’s long shadow, and let the whispers of ancient merchants guide your hand. Tregony’s soul is its past—Cornwall’s heart laid bare, as real and grounded as the village that still calls it home.
