Echoes of Truro: A Historic and Cultural Audio Odyssey

Explore Truro at your own pace

Under the soaring spires of Truro, secrets sleep in the shadowed alleys and grand halls. This city brims with hidden dramas just beneath the surface, where echoes of rebellion and artistry still linger.

Take a self-guided audio tour across Moresk's storied streets and let stories rise from every stone. Wander beyond the postcard views and uncover the tales that most visitors walk right past.

Why did an uproar in Hall for Cornwall threaten to split a community in two? Who vanished from inside Truro Cathedral one stormy night and left no clue behind? Which artwork at the Cornwall Museum has been embroiled in scandal ever since it arrived?
