Local story
Cathedral city
Truro is Cornwall's only city, with three cathedral spires above the river, Lemon Quay, county scale shopping and mainline trains.
The civic and shopping heart of Cornwall, built around the cathedral, the river quays and everyday services for the whole county.
Truro works as a base for mid Cornwall. City car parks and the station are busiest on market days and Saturdays.
Start at the cathedral and Lemon Quay, then choose between the shops, a river walk to Malpas or a day trip to the coast.
