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.

The Carnon Viaduct passes over the Carnon River as part of the Falmouth to Truro railway line. The impressive 9 stone arches were completed in 1933. The original viaduct was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The stone piers of the former viaduct can be seen next to the existing viaduct.

Point Hills Arsenic Refinery was run by the British Arsenic Company, which became the Cornwall Arsenic Company. The arsenic works closed at the beginning of World War Two after being active for a century. The chimney has been preserved and is all that remains of the arsenic works.

The Carnon Viaduct is still in operation, unlike many other local viaducts. It carries the Truro to Falmouth railway line over the Carnon River. Underneath the current structure are the masonry piers of the previous viaduct, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and built in 1863. It was constructed of masonry and wood. The wooden sections were dismantled but the piers remain.
