Discover Nature in Cornwall's Great Little City
With more than 80 acres of parks, woodlands, rivers and green spaces, Truro is home to a surprising variety of wildlife right in the heart of Cornwall’s only city.
Â
From colourful wildflower meadows and peaceful woodland trails to riverside habitats and formal gardens, Truro’s natural spaces provide a haven for local wildlife throughout the year. Keep an eye out for squirrels, foxes and deer, along with a variety of birdlife including buzzards, tawny owls and green woodpeckers. During the warmer months, butterflies, bees and other pollinators can often be spotted among the city’s flowers and green spaces.
