The train to Truro was crowded and ran late, but it was still preferrable to driving. We had never been to Truro before so started by exploring the town, with its mixture of small shops and national chains. The station is at the top of the town and we made our way down to Lemon Quay then crossed the roads by subway to Malpas Road. Before long we were walking along the riverside. This walk took us all the way to Malpas, a small village at the junction of the river and creek.
We continued walking as far as we could along the road then followed the footpath into woods. When we came to 2 bridges we ignored the sign to St Clements that went up a hill through a field and instead turned left through the woods. This path followed the creek through woods and was a long way around to St Clement but was a waterside walk. Taking this path we missed the main part of the village and just saw the houses on the waterside, one of which had a lovely garden.
From St Clement we walked along a carriage drive which was flat and easy walking along the creek and took us to just outside Tresillian. When we reached the road we walked along until we came to a bus stop and then caught the bus back to Truro and from there the train to Plymouth.
