For a city stay with coast and countryside right on your
doorstep, try accommodation in Truro from Sykes Cottages.
Pick up leaflets and tips at the tourist office and perhaps join
a guided tour. Truro features a wealth of striking Georgian
architecture, including the Crown Courts, Assembly Rooms,
Walsingham Place and Lemon Street. The city's real gem,
however, is its splendid neo-gothic cathedral, with ornate stained
glass and soaring spires.
A shopper's delight, high street names and exclusive
boutiques sit beside gift shops, galleries and bustling markets -
try Pydar Mews, Victoria Square and Little Castle Street. On
Wednesdays and Saturdays, fill up your Truro cottage's larder
at Lemon Quay farmers' market, showcasing delicious Cornish
goodies. Or dine out in one of the many pavement cafs, stylish
restaurants and trendy bars.
Days out from your Truro cottage
Hop aboard the King Harry Ferry and explore the stunning
Roseland Peninsula, calling
in at the medieval village of St.
Mawes or small settlement of Feock. Or sail across to
Trelissick Gardens at the head of the Fal Estuary, promising
colourful, exotic displays and incredible views.
Evening entertainment could be a BBQ and Charades at your Truro
cottage. A night at the bowling alley or multi-screen cinema. A
riverside concert in Victoria Gardens or a stage or other
performance at the Hall for Cornwall, the area's biggest
theatre.
What else? A golf course, children's recreational area,
Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, the Royal Cornwall Museum and
events like the Food & Drink Festival and City of Lights
Parade. There's a whole host of things to see in Truro, making
it a wonderful location for your next Cornwall
cottage holiday!
