Trains to Truro
Truro is Cornwall's only city and has developed to become the main retail and entertainment centre for the region. But despite the importance of the city to Cornwall as a whole, Truro is relatively small, with narrow streets that are lined with shops and art galleries, pubs and restaurants, all waiting to be discovered. There's also a varied programme of events throughout the year, and - this being Cornwall - spectacular countryside right on the doorstep.

The Gothic towers of Truro Cathedral dominate the skyline of this Cornish city, and many of Truro's attractions can be found in the cathedral's shadow. They are mostly within walking distance of each other. Truro's Georgian streets are packed with independent shops to explore, some great historic pubs, and fine restaurants. Food-lovers should make sure they check out the Truro Farmers' Market, which is held on Lemon Quay on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
