Truro is the capital
of Cornwall and is
the bustling,
commercial heart of
the county. Truro
city centre has the
feel of a city in a
small town. The
centre of Truro is
dominated by Truro
cathedral (www.trurocathedral.org.uk).
This grand cathedral
completed just over
100 years ago is a
pleasure to visit
and is often the
location for some
wonderful concerts.
If you are a fan of
shopping, then
you’ll love Truro.
It is home to all
the larger stores
you would expect in
a city but also
hidden away in its
cobbled streets you
will find plenty of
designer boutiques,
dusty bookshops and
of course a fair few
pasty (www.warrensbakery.co.uk/pasty.htm)
shops.
However, it’s not
only the famous
Cornish pasty that
you’ll find in
Truro. Truro has
become a centre a
great eating and
throughout the town
you will find a
wealth of fantastic
restaurants bringing
you the best cuisine
from around the
world.

place where you can
