There are a number of places in Cornwall with the name Trewint, but the best known one is situated near the A30 on Bodmin Moor in Altarnun parish. It is a small village, although it was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086.

Trewint Downs is nearby, and it is reported that John Wesley often used to stay there, in the house of Digori Isbell, a local stone mason. Today, this house is a museum which exhibits items about John Wesley and Methodism.

Without doubt, this place is windy, just like Bodmin Moor itself. There is no tavern in Trewint but there is one nearby at Five Lanes called the Kings Head.
