Truro - Riverside & Landmarks

Before you set off on your Tri-River Tournament quest around Truro, there are a few things you need to know...

Unfortunately, the route isn't friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to narrow, uneven footpaths, cobbled road and pathway surfaces and steps. Lighter pushchairs may be able to access the full route but you may need to carry it over some short stretches.

Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is along a dog-friendly route, though you will be searching for clues alongside busy roads and shopping areas at times, so they must be kept on leads for these parts.

Truro is well-served by public transport, with both a bus station and railway station a short walk from the start point. National Cycle Route 3, 32 and The Cornish Way all run through the city too. The city offers a park and ride service from east and west.

Access may be restricted to some parts of the Trail on some days due to special events. Lemon Quay at the start and end is host to a Farmer's Market every Wednesday and Saturday and although access to the clues here shouldn't be restricted, it can get very busy, particularly in the lead up to Christmas! Truro is host to a wide variety of events throughout the year - ideal if you want to extend your visit once you've completed your quest.

There are public toilets available close to the start / end point at Lemon Quay and in The Leats, which you'll explore between Clues 08 & 09. The route passes several pubs, restaurants, cafes and snack shops along the way, and there are great picnic spots at around Clues 12-14 and around Clue 16.
