Truro Maps and Orientation

(Truro, Cornwall, England, UK)



Sited within the district of Carrick, Truro stands towards the far western side of Cornwall, being sandwiched between Falmouth and St. Austell. Truro is located in the south-western area of England and lies slightly inland, and was once a thriving market town with a particularly busy port. Over the years, Truro has suffered a number of winter floods and as a result, substantial flood defences are now in place to protect the city from any further occurrences.
