Devoran (Cornish: Deveryon)[1] is a village in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Truro at grid reference SW 793 392.[2] Formerly an ecclesiastical parish, Devoran is now in the civil parish of Feock (where the 2011 census population is included).
The village is on the northeast bank of the Carnon River at its confluence with Restronguet Creek, a tidal creek which flows into Carrick Roads above Falmouth. Devoran is at the Normal Tidal Limit (NTL) of the creek[2] but until the 20th-century the tidal limit stretched much further up the valley than now.[3]
The name Devoran comes from the Cornish language Deveryon, meaning 'waters'.[4]
