Devoran

Devoran is a village located in Cornwall, England. It lies on the north bank of the Restronguet Creek, an estuary that forms part of the Carrick Roads system. Historically, Devoran was a significant port, particularly for the export of copper ore mined in the Gwennap area, which was then a major mining district. The construction of the Redruth and Chacewater Railway, later extended to Devoran, played a crucial role in facilitating this trade.

The village's maritime heritage is still evident in its layout and some of its remaining buildings. The creek itself remains a popular spot for sailing and other water-based activities. Today, Devoran is primarily a residential village, with a population that has grown over the years. It retains a local pub and a community hall, serving the needs of its residents. The surrounding landscape offers scenic walks and views of the Cornish coastline and countryside.
