This delightful town can be found on the coast of Cornwall, boasting narrow streets made of cobbles and a plethora of delicious seafood eateries. The city is famous for its impressive architecture and rich history, including the iconic Truro Cathedral, which happens to be one of the biggest in all of England.
The cathedral has been a focal point of Truro’s life since it was built, serving as a place of worship, a civic building, and even as a place where criminals were hanged. It is perhaps one of the most beautiful buildings in the country.
Truro is also home to many fine restaurants and cafés. It’s also home to the Callestick Ice Cream Parlour, which offers a great selection of this sweet treat.
