Truro - The Capital of Cornwall

Truro is the archetypal County Town, elegant and charming with an air of distinction. Its cobbled streets and tiny alleyways, known as "opes", contain some of the nations household names alongside many tiny specialist shops bursting with ideas for even the most demanding shopper.

The shopping centre is level and, for a City with such shopping choice, is remarkably compact. There are lots of places of interest to visit nearby. A popular visitor destination is the Royal Cornwall Museum. Parking in Truro is easy with several multi-storey car parks. A "Park&Ride" scheme operates throughout the Summer season. Thanks to the effort of the local community to keep Truro tidy, it has recently been awarded this prestigious award.
