Very picturesque riverside spot just 1.5 miles along the river from Truro. The walk is a fairly level and very scenic. This area has been recently regenerated & maintained by a team of volunteers.
Malpas village is just half a mile further. Although the village is small there are public toilets plus a popular gastropub (the Heron) and newly opened coffee shop by the marina.
There is no/very limited parking in the village so walking or taxi/bus is recommended
