Set at the meeting point of the Truro and Tresillian rivers, the village enjoys a tranquil waterside setting within the beautiful Fal estuary, an area renowned for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife. With a single road leading in and out, Malpas has a peaceful, tucked-away feel while still being within easy reach of Truro’s shops, restaurants, schools, and mainline railway station.
