Overview

Are you looking for a way to see Truro without joining a tour group? Explore the charming cathedral city at your own pace with this self-guided walking tour.

Truro became Cornwall’s Cathedral City in 1877 when, after separating from the Diocese of Exeter, it was granted its own bishop. On this walking tour of Cornwall’s only city, you’ll hear about its humble beginnings as a medieval tin-mining village, its vibrant present, and its promising future, as you explore different eras, cultures and picturesque landscapes to discover Truro’s heart.

On this tour, you’ll delve into the city’s rich mining history as you navigate through charming streets and past atmospheric pubs. You’ll meander along the river and discover its integral role in shaping Truro’s identity.
