Devoran is the end, or start of the Cornish off road coast to coast trail which journeys from (or to!) Portreath. There is a pub, The Old Quay Inn, for refreshments and a car park, next to the A39, which is a handy place to park if you are starting a ride here.
In the 19th century Devoran was an important transport hub for the mining industry. Tin and copper were brought here by railway from the Gwennap mines. When the price of tin fell dramatically, mining was no longer the huge industry it was before and the creek silted up through its lack of use.
