LOCATION

Penweathers lies on the South Western side of the city and is easily approached a minor country road which lead directly off the A390 Truro to Threemilestone main road. The shopping centre of Truro itself is little more than a mile from the property and hence there is easy access to the Cathedral, Hall for Cornwall, a range of private and state schools and also a main line railway link to London (Paddington). Penweathers lies close to the sailing waters of the Fal Estuary, Falmouth is about nine miles away and the north Cornish coast at St. Agnes and Perranporth a similar distance.
