A road near Penryn is blocked this afternoon by a huge tree that has fallen.

Weeks of rain and strong winds have led to the giant tree falling in Truro Hill, between Enys and Penryn.

It is affecting traffic from Round Ring to the B3292, Church Road, with vehicles having to find alternative routes.

The road is expected to remain closed for some time due to the size of the tree.
