Tucked away just a short stroll from the city centre, the beautiful gardens offer a peaceful spot to slow down and enjoy a little fresh air between exploring Truroโ€™s shops, cafรฉs and things to do.

With October half term just around the corner, why not add an autumn stroll to your next day in Cornwallโ€™s only city? ๐Ÿ“Œ
