Truro's population was recorded as 18,766 in the 2011 census. People from Truro are known as Truronians.

Absolutely phenomenal value for money and wonderful way to spend a few hours. We visited the brewery on a rainy Tuesday with very little expectation and were delighted to find a warm and friendly staff to greet us with a pint awaiting. The quality of the beer is beyond reproach and both the tour guide Louise (the daughter of the CEO no less) and the barman, Jason were flawless. By far the best value for money of any distillery or brewery tour I have ever done. Cannot recommend enough.

Nestled in the centre of the Cornish countryside only three miles from Truro, Llama Lland is set within our 140-acre farm. This farm has been in the Tripp family for over one hundred years. Established in 2001, Llama Lland is renowned for its quality and enjoyment factor. Due to the growing popularity in Llamas and being a one of a kind business in Cornwall, Llama Lland has become a sought-after attraction for those looking for a natural experience in the beautiful countryside. The friendly, relaxed atmosphere makes Penare Farm the perfect place for a peaceful walk with our Llamas. With the surrounding hills and amazing views your experience will be fun and enjoyable!
Definitely a unique experience visiting Llama Land. After mistakenly arriving at the wrong farm 200 yards away, we called Tom who directed us to the entrance. Seems its a common issue, but one he is looking to resolve. Tom introduced himself and set out the plan for the 3 hour experience. He then led us to the main barn where the Llamas were waiting patiently. He passionately explained the names and personalities of each llama and tried to match you up for the walk with a llama that fitted your personality and confidence with handling the animals. On the lovely cross-country walk (wellies or good walking boots advised!) we were kept entertained by our own and each others llama's - as well as Tom's amusing stories! After the walk, we were taken to another section of the farm to meet the other female llamas and the baby ones, and spent some time learning about the breeding and their names and habits - Tom is clearly very passionate about what he does. After this we were led to a larger barn, which is clearly being converted into a cafe/picnic area where he had laid on sandwiches, salads, scones and other snacks - all included in the price. It was a brilliant 3 hours, and although initially we had wondered about the price tag, Tom works really hard to make sure you get value for money. It would be great to see this experience grow but hopefully also retain it's unique feel. Thanks Tom!

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!

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.

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
