Veryan (Cornish: Elerghi) is a coastal civil parish and village on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

[10] In the 19th century Veryan's vicar and local land owner Jeremiah Trist expanded the village's buildings.

[11] He convinced parishioners to attend church on a regular basis, and built two schools and a series of round houses.

[13] The large house, Parc Behan, overlooking the church was also built by Trist as his dwelling: the vicarage was too small and in a bad state of repair.

[12] Carne Beacon, lying a mile from Veryan, is said to be the burial place of the Cornish saint, King Gerennius (Geraint).

Local folklore suggests that the burial mound contains the golden boat with silver oars, on which his body was brought across Gerrans Bay.

[15] During World War II, Carne Beacon became the site of the very first Cornish above ground aircraft reporting post.

The post consisted of an observation area with aircraft plotting instrument and a small space for making refreshments and gaining shelter.

[20] Veryan Football Club play in the Duchy League and are the current champions of the second division; level 16 in the English pyramid system.

Veryan attracts tourism due to its location on the Roseland Peninsula and has bed and breakfasts, hotels and guest houses.

[21] Veryan is also popular because of its location near the South West Coast Path, a route for keen walkers in Cornwall.

[16] Various scenes for the 1992 television drama series The Camomile Lawn, based on Mary Wesley's book of the same name, were filmed in Veryan (Broom Parc House) and on the coast at nearby Portloe.
