Welcome to Truscott

Truscott is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated near the town of Bude and is known for its picturesque countryside and stunning coastline. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding. Truscott is also home to a number of historic buildings, including a 13th-century church and several traditional Cornish cottages.

One of the main attractions in Truscott is the nearby Bude Canal, which was built in the early 19th century to transport goods between Bude and Launceston.

The canal also offers boat trips and fishing opportunities, making it a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Truscott is also within easy reach of some of Cornwall's most popular tourist destinations, including the seaside towns of Padstow and Newquay, and the historic city of Plymouth. Visitors to Truscott can enjoy a day trip to any of these locations, or simply relax and take in the stunning scenery of the surrounding countryside. With its charming village atmosphere and easy access to some of Cornwall's best attractions, Truscott is a great place to visit for anyone looking to experience the beauty of this stunning region.
