Walk in Victoria Park – Truro

Victoria Park is a 3,000-hectare protected treasure nestled in the heart of Truro and accessible in just minutes from the train station. Among the park's natural wonders is a magnificent hemlock forest, a conifer easily recognizable by its distinctive silhouette and tiny pine cones.

The loop we suggest takes you around the park along a peaceful trail. You'll discover an impressive canyon, which you can explore via a network of wooden walkways. Admire the gorge from different levels and access viewing platforms at the base of numerous waterfalls, such as Waddell and Joe Howe.

The route includes descending the 175 steps of Jacob's Ladder, but the more adventurous can tackle the climb in the opposite direction for a challenge. And if you'd like to extend your visit, take advantage of the park's facilities to enjoy a picnic, go birdwatching, or attend one of the regularly scheduled cultural events.
