Situated\noutside of the overcrowded Cornish coastline but within easy reach of beautiful\nbeaches, Truro is known for its architecture, cobbled streets and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trurocathedral.org.uk\/\">stunning\ncathedral<\/a>. It was once a thriving quayside town and continues to be\na tight knit community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beautiful period\nbuildings and large properties line the historic streets of the city, with an\naverage house price of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/house-prices\/truro.html\">\u00a3309,686<\/a> reflecting the desirability of the\narea, although Truro is much more affordable than Cornish hotspots like St\nMawes (\u00a31,075,636), Rock (\u00a31,055,936) and Polzeath (\u00a3914,400). In June 2021 the\ncity was awarded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trurotownfund.com\/about\/\">\u00a323.6 million<\/a> as part of the government\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/towns-fund-prospectus\">Towns Fund<\/a> to transform the city centre,\ncreating new amenities, transport links and social hubs.

There are direct train services to London\nPaddington, Plymouth, Edinburgh and Cardiff Central, with one of only two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrainline.com\/train-companies\/night-riviera\">sleeper trains<\/a> in the UK also running to\nnearby Penzance and north to Scotland. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gwr.com\/travelling-with-us\/night-riviera-sleeper\">Night Riviera<\/a> has seen renewed popularity in\nrecent years as eco-conscious travellers choose to take the train instead of\ndrive or fly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truro is located near the A30, A39 and A390, meaning those who prefer to travel by car can also access the city easily. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalexpress.com\/en\">National Express<\/a> runs coaches from the city to destinations across the UK, with local buses run by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstbus.co.uk\/cornwall\">First Bus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gocornwallbus.co.uk\/about-us\">Go Cornwall<\/a>.
