Location

Nestled at the confluence of the Truro and Tresillian rivers, Malpas is a charming riverside village located just two miles southeast of Truro. Once a bustling port, it now offers a peaceful retreat with scenic views and a rich history. The village is known for its navigable waterways, providing access to Falmouth and the sea, making it a haven for boating enthusiasts.

The award winning Heron Inn in Malpas is close by offering a beautiful waterside location using locally sourced ingredients for meals and drinks to enjoy by the river.

As Cornwall’s only city, Truro serves as the heart of the county. The city is dominated by its stunning Gothic-revival cathedral, which rises majestically above the skyline. Truro boasts a rich architectural heritage, with Georgian terraces and townhouses along Walsingham Place and Lemon Street often regarded as some of the finest examples of Georgian architecture west of Bath. The city offers a vibrant shopping experience, with a mix of independent shops and high street brands, as well as a variety of eateries and cultural venues. Truro is also home to the Royal Cornwall Museum, which showcases the county’s rich history and culture. With its blend of historical charm and modern amenities, Truro provides a dynamic living environment within easy reach of the tranquil village of Malpas.

Truro offers a mainline train service to Paddington London, and further afield Cornwall Airport Newquay offers Domestic and International flights daily.
