Planning a visit
Soaring above the surrounding rooftops, Truro Cathedral is located at the heart of this thriving Georgian city and wonderfully situated in the middle of the Royal Duchy of Cornwall.
The information below will help you to plan and make the most of your visit.

Free Entry
We are an active part of the community welcoming people from all over the world, rather than simply a “heritage tourist attraction”, so we feel it is important to ensure that entry to this beautiful building is free. To help us maintain the life of the cathedral so that we can welcome future generations, perhaps you could have a coffee in our coffee shop, buy a guidebook or make a donation in one of the boxes. It all helps us to balance the books.
Getting to the Cathedral
We really are in the centre of Truro, amidst the bustle of the shops and restaurants. You can see our towers from miles around. The city is well served by public transport. There are regular bus and train services to Truro from around Cornwall. There is even a passenger ferry service from Falmouth and St Mawes. For visitors arriving by car there are a good number of city centre car parks; follow the digital displays for the places with most spaces.
Help Information
The Shop has a wide range of guidebooks for sale. Cathedral Stewards (wearing a sash) can help you with any information enquiry you might have. There are Cathedral Chaplains available throughout the day to help you with Spiritual guidance or Confession.

Planning a visit
Our restaurant serves wholesome meals at sensible prices, six days a week. Whether you want a hot meal, a sandwich or simply a cup of tea and some homemade cake, the restaurant is the place to come. You will find us in the Chapter House towards the back of the building.

With all profits going to help the work of the Cathedral, you will be supporting a good cause as you enjoy good Cornish hospitality!
