 The
capital of Cornwall is a charming pocket-sized city of elegant Georgian
buildings, cobbled alley-ways and a myriad of interlinking lanes, set at
the head of the Truro River which flows down to Falmouth and out into the
Carrick Roads.
Nestling amongst the shops and houses at the heart of the city, Truro Cathedral
was completed as recently as 1910 and incorporates the original parish church
of St Mary's. Its distinctive three spires rise high above the city's bustling
shopping streets which combine many of the more fashionable high street
names alongside tiny specialist stores catering for the needs of discerning
shoppers from 'foodies' to design fashion connoisseurs to water sports fanatics.
The city's parks and gardens play host to a season of free daytime entertainment
including Punch and Judy and musical performances. In winter, the streets
are aglow with the City of Light lantern procession and street fair, which
marks the start of Christmas late night shopping.
With the opening of the Hall for Cornwall theatre complex, the city now
attracts a wide range of top performers and events and is capable of presenting
the finest in performing arts with a year-round programme of activities.
Flea markets and antique fairs use the venue during the daytime and are
well worth a peek! Truro is also home to the newly refurbished Royal Cornwall
Museum and Art Gallery, where visitors can follow the story of Cornwall
from the Stone Age to the present day. The Museum often plays host to touring
national and international exhibitions as well as displaying the resident
collection of works by Constable, Lowry and the Newlyn School of artists.
Take the chance to explore the rivers and creeks that spread south from
Truro. Climb aboard a ferryboat from Truro's Town Quay to Falmouth, a truly
magical journey along one of the most beautiful stretches of river in the
country. |
