Truro River at low tide
Introduction
The photograph on this page of Truro River at low tide by Graham Loveland as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The twisting course of the channel up the Truro river is marked by the port (red) and starboard (green) hand markers. The mudbanks are constantly shifting, however, so a mark can quickly become out of position and outside the channel there is very little depth of water even at high tide. Trying to reach the head of the river other than at the very top of the tide is hazardous.
