Trevellas is a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, situated midway between St Agnes and Perranporth. It was first recorded as a place in Cornwall in 1302 and was the site of the Trevelles family manor. Trevellas valley was a mining site for centuries and known as the "Blue Hills" coloured by bluish slate. During World War II the nearby Perranporth airport was used as a Royal Air Force base. Painter John Opie was born in Trevellas. == Geography == There are many scenic cliff path walks around the area, static caravan sites and walks in Woodland Trust wooded areas.〔(''Trevellas Woods'' ) Woodland Trust.

Trevellas valley has been a site for tin mining for several centuries, and in 1810 the Blue Hills Sett incorporated many of the small mines. Though Blue Hills closed in 1897, tin production has continued in Trevellas to the present and the Blue Hills works can be visited between April and October each year.〔(''Blue Hill Tin website'' ) Blue Hills Tin.
