Bugle is a sizable village in the middle of Cornwall, in the parish of Treverbyn and about five miles north of St Austell on the A391 road. The 2011 Census for the parish (with Treverbyn and surrounding hamlets) gave a population of 4,164.
The village was established in the mid 19th century following the construction of: a turnpike road in 1836-7; the Bugle Inn in 1840; and the Par to Bugle section of the Treffry Tramways in 1842.[1]
The village has a railway station on the 'Atlantic Coast Line'.
There are plans to build a new neighbourhood on the site of the Goonbarrow Refinery west of the village as part of the St Austell and Clay Country Eco-town. This would include 450-550 homes. The plan was given outline approval in July 2009.[2]
