Tresillian is a small riverside village in Cornwall, England, set on the banks of the River Tresillian and a short drive from Truro and the Fal estuary. The settlement has a compact, traditional feel with an old stone bridge, waterside cottages and surrounding farmland, and the tidal creeks and lanes make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.

Historically rooted in agriculture and local river trade, Tresillian today mixes village life with commuter connections into nearby towns; many residents work in Truro or in Cornwall’s service and creative sectors. Community activities and the quiet riverside setting help preserve a strong local social fabric while modest tourism brings visitors keen on country walks and Cornish coastal attractions.
