Trethewey (Cornish: Tredhewi)[1] is a hamlet in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It forms part of St Levan civil parish.[2] The village includes a Wesleyan chapel and schoolroom, built in 1868.[3][4]

Trethewey lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.

The first records of the name may be preserved in the "Calendar of inquisitions post mortem and other analogous documents preserved in the Public Record Office (1904)"which contains a probate inquiry as to the birthdate of 11 September 1296 and the birthplace of Treguwal[5] of Roger Bloyou, although it may be the name of a different or extinct village.[6]
