Truro tourist information
Truro, the cathedral city of Cornwall, was previously a stannery town which was very important for exporting ore.
It became a fashionable town in the 18th century and the Georgian buildings remain. Look at Lemon Street and Walsingham Place, an early 19th century crescent.
Today, it is a busy county town with a Main Line station. There is also a Tourist Information Centre, and the town operates a park and ride scheme.
The Cathedral was built around 1880 on the site of an older church.
