Padstow: Ariel views show coastal town in Cornwall
A small UK city has been named a must-see for holidaymakers looking to get a beautiful and mild autumnal break.
The “pint-size” city has come out on top of the Oxford Royale’s list of top 15 UK cities to visit.
Truro, located in the centre of Western Cornwall, has been named the best place to visit in the country in autumn due to its beautiful beaches and mild weather this time of year.
With only a population of 20,000, it is one of the smallest cities on the list behind St David’s in Pembrokeshire.
The Oxford Royale’s list reads: “It’s the only city in the county of Cornwall, which is a must-visit for visitors to the UK.
“As the most southerly city on the British mainland, its autumn weather is notably mild.
“Truro may be small but it’s perfectly formed; its heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries left its mark in the form of beautiful Georgian, Regency and Victorian architecture.”
The compact city is famous for its ancient, cobbled, and narrow streets with a range of stunning Gothic and Georgian architecture.

A beautiful Victorian Cathedral is located in the city center while all around it is a selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.
The list reads: “Truro is also the ideal base for exploring the rest of Cornwall.
“Nowhere in Cornwall is more than eight miles from the sea, and this county is probably best known for seaside pursuits as a result – it’s a magnet for surfers.”
Cornwall is also famous for its foods such as fresh fish, ice cream, fudge, and the world-famous Cornish pasties.
