Around 20 miles to the north is Truro, the county’s cathedral city, which acts as the retail, administrative, and cultural hub of Cornwall. Truro is also home to a mainline railway station with direct connections to London Paddington. For even closer access, St Erth station is around 8 miles away, providing convenient rail links.
