Tregony (Cornish: Trerigoni),[1] sometimes in the past Tregoney, is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Tregony with Cuby, in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies on the River Fal. In the village there is a post office (now closed and located in the shop), The Kings Arms Pub, shop, a sports and social club and two churches. Tregony has bus links to the nearest city, Truro. Cornelly parish was united with Tregony in 1934. On 1 April 2021 the parish was abolished and merged with Cuby to form "Tregony with Cuby".[2] Tregony was once a port, but clay mining upriver in St Austell has caused the river to become silted over.[3] The population was 768 in 2011 with nearly 15% claiming Cornish identity.
