Truro car hire

There is an endless stream of adventures just waiting to happen, so get out in your hire car to explore...

You could hit the beaches, tour traditional fishing villages, find hidden coves or simply enjoy an unhurried drive around the hills, forests and pastures of England's most southerly county. 

The good news is that everywhere in Cornwall is within easy reach of Truro. It's no more than an hour by road to Land's End in the west and a little over an hour to the eastern reaches of the county. The bad news is that you've got to wade through a massive inventory of star attractions to narrow down your sightseeing wish list. It can be tricky, as Cornwall is packed with sublime sandy beaches and family activities. 

The beauty of having a hire car in Truro means that you could let the open road dictate your days, taking this turn or that and stumbling upon an unforgettable place. If you prefer to be a little more organised, you could start with our must-sees, using the TravelSupermarket travel guides to Cornwall to find more dream destinations. Then, when you arrive in Truro, enlist the help of the friendly locals to point you in the right direction. 

The Eden Project comes highly recommended as a family attraction, as do St Michael's Mount, the Tamar Otter and Wildlife Centre, the Monkey Sanctuary in Looe, and Bodmin Moor - for red-cheeked walks in this stunning patch of Cornish moorland. The best coastal hotspots include Sennen Cove, Watergate Bay, Porthminster Beach, Porthcurno, and the haunting remains of Tintagel Castle, which stand guard over the sea on the north coast of Cornwall.
