Devoran

Devoran (Cornish: Deveryon)[1] is a village in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

[5] The Redruth and Chasewater Railway, an early industrial line which served the many mines a few miles to the north, terminated at the port (although there was an extension to wharves at Point on which trains were hauled by horses rather than locomotives).

Today, this long-disused railway forms part of a coast-to-coast footpath and cycle route.

A ruined engine house of Carnon Mine is on the bank of the estuary near Devoran.

[8] Thomas Lobb, Victorian botanist and plant hunter is buried in Devoran churchyard.
