Truro - shopper’s paradise
Truro – Cornwall’s cultural, commercial and administrative centre – is a shopper’s paradise.
The city, graced by a towering cathedral, has seen
redevelopment in recent years and today offers residents and visitors a splendid shopping experience.
The hustle and bustle of Truro’s Pydar Street.
There are elegant cobbled streets, some featuring small streams, and narrow alleyways, with much of the centre benefiting from being pedestrianised.
In the late 18th century, Truro was celebrated for its architecture, and today Lemon Street is considered to be one of the finest examples of a surviving Georgian street.
As well as the shops, there are cafes, restaurants and pubs to help you while away a relaxing day in pleasant surroundings.
The Gothic spires of the late- Victorian cathedral, and its walls with their intricate carvings, soar above the rest of the city centre.
