Truro


Elegant cobbled streets, small streams, narrow alleyways and a towering cathedral.


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.


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.


You can take a guided tour around the awe-inspiring building which stands on the site of the 16th century church of St Mary.


During a visit to the city centre, the lively square in front of the cathedral is a place to pause for a while and soak up the atmosphere.


Nearby is the Royal Cornwall Museum where permanent displays about Cornish history can be seen alongside collections of ceramics and glass from around the world.
