Truro (/ˈtrʊəroʊ/; Cornish: Truru) is a city and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is Cornwall's county town, only city, and centre for administration, leisure and retail. Truro's population was recorded as 18,766 in the 2011 census. People from Truro are known as Truronians. As the most southern city in mainland Great Britain, Truro grew as a centre of trade from its port and then as a stannary town for the tin mining industry. Its cathedral was completed in 1910. Places of interest include the Royal Cornwall Museum, the Hall for Cornwall and Cornwall's Courts of Justice.

A beautiful building with super acoustics and a very friendly and generous clergy! I enjoyed singing there for a week with the Alleyn Singers and hopefully will get the chance to sing there again.

Had a veg burger and veg chilli with dirty fries - the pub is a perfect example of a proper Cornish pub with friendly staff who are very chirpy. The food was really tasty and the portions were huge (still finished the lot it was so good!) Well worth a visit, book a table and have a little walk along the (very windy) cliff top to build a hearty appetite

Recommended to visit this park if we had time by the lady in the tourist office. We took the walk to the park which is about a mile from the centre of Truro. It was a lovely walk and the park is very well provided with toilets and refreshment facilities. After a short rest and a coffee we went back to the City to continue to explore. The view of the Cathedral from here is excellent, as Truro is quite low level it dominates City.

Another visit to this lovely little cove; it has everything you need a couple of car parks, life guards, Dog friendly, cafes, bars and shops. Did I mention the gorgeous stunning scenery and clean crisp surf..... The village of St Agnes itself sprawls down the steep valley and its worth taking a stroll all the way down!

The white and green striped stalls of Truro Farmers Market are at the grassroots of Cornwall’s culinary scene; come and discover the best produce our county has to offer! Soak up the smells of freshly baked bread and smoked fish, rows of perfect blue duck eggs, preserves in a rainbow of colours and cakes to make your mouth water. A friendly welcome is guaranteed from the traders, some of whom are truly artisan in scale and others who are courted for their produce by the famous chefs of Cornwall and beyond. As well as the weekly markets on a Wednesday and Saturday, Truro Farmers Market also ‘pops up’ in Falmouth on the pedestrianised area known as The Moor every Tuesday.
Great range of local products and always such a friendly buzz around the market. Always toping up my Gin collection from Elemental Cornish Gin and kimchi from Delea Fermented Foods! The range of fresh food is always a challenge to choose between.

Told about this park by the lady in the tourist office. Interesting access through a passage near the courts. This is a beautiful garden on the side of a hill. The centre point is what I believe is a Victorian bandstand, however, there are a number of interesting sculptures and a floral display/memorial of a spitfire. We sat and enjoyed our picnic here - there were toilets available in the part at the lower entrance.

Opening in 2019, On The Rocks is a local neighbourhood bar serving great cocktails, wines, beers and ciders. Our craft is in cocktails – our drinks have easy to identify, bold flavours, made using cutting edge methods. We make all of our syrups, cordials, blends, sherbets and sorbets on-site using locally sourced, fresh produce.
We went into On The Rocks on Tuesday evening for a few cocktails and they were lovely. The service was great and the guys were very keen to make sure you enjoyed your drinks and to advise you on the next one! I would really recommend a trip to the Bar when you're in Truro if you like good service and nice drinks

Here at Callestick Farm we use fresh milk all from our own grass fed herd of Jersey x Friesian cows, local cream & then add the finest fruits & confectionery to create flavour upon flavour of dreamy, ice creamy indulgence! Our ice cream parlour located in the heart of Cornwall serves a variety of treats including hot waffles, our ever popular Cornish cream teas... (Remember - jam first!) And of course our ice cream sundaes! Head up to the Viewing Gallery where you can watch our production team in the factory making our delicious ice cream! We are perfect for an afternoon relaxing in our sunny courtyard, after a day at the beach or to shelter in our parlour when the Cornish weather is doing its thing. Our philosophy is simple; a balanced diet is an ice cream in each hand.
James, Dan and Josh all loved the play area, the big deck chair and the cow. They liked watching the ice cream been made then eating it. Brilliant day out for the whole family
