Situated in the heart of Cornwall, Truro is in the ideal place for you to explore both the famous beaches to the north, along with the quaint surrounding Cornish towns. The city itself is home to the imposing Truro Cathedral which towers over a maze of ornate streets, along with the Farmer's Markets for fantastic and rare food stuffs. With Calenick Creek and the areas to the south of the town designated as an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', hiring a car from Truro allows you to venture anywhere from Bodmin Moor to St Ives and beyond.
As the most southerly city in the United Kingdom, Truro is ideally placed to reach a whole host of interesting locations in Cornwall. Newquay is 12 miles north and is widely regarded as the surf capital of the UK, whilst Perranporth Beach is less than 10 miles away and is often described as the best beach in Britain. The Eden Project is just over half an hour away on the A390, so by renting a car in Truro you can make the most of both Cornish countryside as well as exploring one of the best tourist attractions in the UK.
