Threemilestone is a small village in the civil parish of Kenwyn, located precisely three miles west of Truro, the only city in Cornwall. Threemilestone has grown in recent years, as housing estates to the west have been developed.
Between Truro and Threemilestone there is a continuous line of schools, colleges and industrial estates, including Truro College and Richard Lander School, a mere two-minute walk from the centre of Threemilestone. The village also has its own primary school which has 387 pupils.
Amenities
In Threemilestone itself there is a central area of shops and facilities which include a Methodist church, grocery, baker, fish & chip shop, chemist, doctor's surgery, launderette, hair salon, post office, community centre, public house and social club, garage, dentist, Chinese takeaway and coffee shop.
Threemilestone is also the location for a park-and-ride scheme that serves the A390. The park-and-ride resulted in an estimated removal of 118,000 cars from the road during its first 9 months of operation.[1] The park and ride is therefore an important piece of infrastructure, for the residents of Threemilestone and people travelling into Truro.
Leisure
