River Garth, located in the charming village of Malpas along the bank of the Truro River, is a truly spectacular property where the rivers Truro and Tresillian converge. This desirable location features navigable waterways leading to Falmouth and the sea. The village boasts a highly regarded public house, the Heron Inn, a boatyard, and convenient bus services to Truro city centre, just two miles away. With moorings available on the river, the area is favored by walkers, kayakers, runners, and sailors, with vessels easily launched from the public slipway. In the summer months, popular boat trips operate at various stages of the tide from Malpas to The National Trust’s Trelissick Garden, Falmouth, and on to St Mawes.
