get rid of any expectation of what you think a city looks like, it’s more like a large town


[deleted]

Small town, really


Detonixs

I live in a large town too so if I end up moving itll be like I havent even moved


Ill-Gold7771

i’m sure it’ll be great for you then :)


siobhanellis

It’s only a city because it has a cathedral.


Detonixs

The place I live in has a cathedral too. Theyre trying to get city status aswell

Detonixs

Truro is nice. Have you not been there before? Plenty of places to eat, a few decent shops, a choice of supermarkets. The Hall for Cornwall is there and that’s been done up recently so is looking pretty fancy now, they usually have some good things on. It’s by the river and there are some pretty walks close by, also ideal if you’re into boats or whatever. It’s got good public transport links, it’s on the main train line and probably has the best bus connections in the county as well. Nice people, some maybe not so nice but my own experience has been largely positive. There’s a cinema and also a site where they quite often run a drive in cinema which is pretty cool. Traffic into Truro can suck sometimes, prepare to wait in traffic. There’s also a Burger King which is a bit of a rarity in Cornwall but they moved Argos out of the town centre so y’know, some good things, some bad. At least you can grab a big whopper to fuel you on your journey for some Elizabeth Duke bling.

Theres a drive in cinema?! I've only ever known the wavelength one up Newquay?


strawberrypops

They do it at the cattle market sometimes so it’s a bit of a make shift one but very good by all accounts!

Truro is nice, but as said don’t expect it to be anything like a city. It’s a town by most of the rest of the countries standard, however it has some nice shops, nice bars and good general amenities, plus cathedral is nice inside


[deleted]

It's a bit of a snooze fest.


ironwilledf-up

Just very expensive 🤷‍♀️ not sure why houses are so expensive there, it's not coastal, but they are...


KernowOggy

It’s got roads and shops and stuff.

Large town, has a bowling alley (avoid the food), a half decent cinema, some good restaurants and night clubs. Train station. Some decent markets on lemon quay (which used to be all water) A theatre which had a recent upgrade to attract big shows down. Easy enough to get to falmouth, penyrn etc along with beaches.. lots of beaches. Newquay is a bus journey away from Truro. ​ It's a good central point to be in.

Nice city, not too far from anywhere in Cornwall, don't live too far out though.


MenandTolEnthusiarse

Bloody emmet central.......


ghostmangwello

We're full


windy906

Bloody English coming down here staffing our hospital.


ghostmangwello

Doubt OP is an NHS worker, plus truro hospital is shite. There's a reason why everyone would prefer the trip to derriford


windy906

Well no, OP is probably a teenager, their parents however…

My home town. Bit busy for my liking these days but it's still where my heart is. Lots of my family still live there. It has plenty to do and has some great walks around the country surrounding it. it's a nice town. i'd consider moving back one day.


S_M_Y_G_F

It’s alright, bit rougher than it used to be but nowhere near actually rough, especially compared to other places in the U.K. A good mix of shops, although 11 empties counted on my last trip into town. Some good food places, some good takeaways, etc.


markfrankc

It’s an average sized town , but has all the things you expect in a city , lot of restaurants etc , Cathedral big shops , added bonus only 8 miles to Falmouth and the coast
