Trewoon had a major part to play in the china clay industry in Cornwall being the home to the Blackpool Clay Pits and Dryers. 

The Clay Trails are a series of scenic routes for walking, cycling and horse riding for the general public. This is the China Clay Country where china clay (KAOLIN) has been extracted for aver 300 years, a process that has literally shaped the landscape. There are pits, that have become blue / green coloured lakes and spoil heaps, now overgrown and forming the "Cornish Alps". ​
