Trewornan is a hamlet north west of Wadebridge, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is on the B3314 main coast road that links Wadebridge to the tourist areas of Rock, Polzeath and Port Isaac. [1]
Today Trewornan consists of a small group of buildings around Trewornan Manor and Trewornan Farm, and previous Ordnance Survey maps indicate that this has not changed since the 19th century. [2] [3] In 2022 Google Maps showed the label "Trewornan" located at Middle Amble ( 50°32′25″N4°50′23″W / 50.540345°N 4.839830°W ) leading to possible confusion about the location to which the name applies.
A small copper mine called Trewornan Mine was located along the River Camel between Trewornan and Dinham. It operated from the early 1800s and was later known as Wheal Sisters. It was only worked for about 50 years before mining ceased. [4]
The most distinct feature at Trewornan is Trewornan Bridge which spans the River Amble. The bridge was built in the 18th century and is Grade 2 listed. [5] This bridge is well known to drivers on the B3314 as in 2022 it is still single file and is protected by traffic lights. In May 2022 the bridge was struck by a vehicle which caused significant damage to the parapet and the B3314 was closed. Repairs were predicted to take several weeks and local bus services were affected. [6] [7]
Between 2010 and 2017 the Environment Agency carried out water quality sampling at Trewornan Bridge, the last sample being taken in April 2017. [8]
The River Camel is a river in Cornwall, England. It rises on the edge of Bodmin Moor and with its tributaries its catchment area covers much of North Cornwall. The river flows into the eastern Celtic Sea between Stepper Point and Pentire Point having covered about 30 miles, making it the second longest river wholly in Cornwall. The river is tidal upstream to Egloshayle and is popular for sailing, birdwatching and fishing. The name Camel comes from the Cornish language for 'the crooked one', a reference to its winding course. Historically the river was divided into three named stretches. Heyl was the name for the estuary up to Egloshayle, the River Allen was the stretch between Egloshayle and Trecarne, whilst the Camel was reserved for the stretch of river between its source and Trecarne.
