<strong>Cornwall</strong>’s<br />
CITY FIX<br />
<strong>The</strong> multi-screen cinema is just a stone’s throw from<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hall for <strong>Cornwall</strong> – home to a constantly changing<br />
programme of the best in live entertainment featuring<br />
artistes who love coming to this county as much as you do.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, there is the hugely engaging Royal <strong>Cornwall</strong> Museum<br />
telling stories of <strong>Cornwall</strong> and its fascinating history.<br />
Rising magnificently above it all, and not to be missed –<br />
because you can’t! – is the breathtaking architecture of<br />
the cathedral. Take a break from the hustle and bustle to<br />
spend some time absorbing the serenity of this magnificent<br />
building. Admire the stunning stained glass windows and<br />
gothic artwork, visit the coffee shop or relax and take a seat<br />
in the impressive nave and allow yourself to be captivated<br />
by the music of the choir or organist for a while.<br />
If you are looking to take time out, and want to<br />
enjoy some open space, Truro also offers beautifully<br />
kept parks and award winning gardens, which are<br />
easily accessible from the city centre, perfect for<br />
relaxing and letting the kids run free. With a splash<br />
of colour from the many beautifully maintained floral<br />
displays around every corner too – it’s a city that<br />
prides itself on its gardens and it breathes through<br />
its welcoming open spaces.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cornish are proud of all their natural wonders, and<br />
rightly so, but they also know how to build a capital city<br />
too – and a visit to their county isn’t complete without<br />
a trip to visit a hidden jewel in the Cornish crown. <strong>The</strong><br />
county’s capital city lies right at its heart – just a short<br />
five miles from the surfing haven of the north coast, and<br />
with some of the best sailing in the UK practically sitting<br />
on its south coast. Getting there is easy too, with nine<br />
city centre carparks and two new Park and Ride services.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are also well connected rail and bus stations, as well<br />
as a passenger ferry service to take you in and out of the<br />
city by boat along the river. So wherever you’re staying in<br />
<strong>Cornwall</strong>, the great little city of Truro is just a skip away.<br />
