Situated halfway along the length of Cornwall and mid-way between the country's north and south coasts, the city of Truro stands in a strategic position and one that has led to its development as Cornwall's centre of administration and its more recent growth as a touring and holiday centre. Its good road and rail links put it within easy reach of almost every part of Cornwall. 

 

Truro's maritime heritage is an important feature, with river trips to Falmouth and to Trelissick Gardens, with its elaborate gardens, wide open spaces and fantastic views of the Carrick Roads.
