Cornish Walking Trails
Let's Visit Cornwall Together
Bodmin
Bodmin is in the middle of Cornwall, lending it's name to the nearby moor. There has been a settlement here since the 6th century and it was once the administrative centre for Cornwall with the County Court residing here until the 1990s. Bodmin Jail is a great tourist draw for the town.
Bodmin has a number of pubs and restaurants in the main town area and Bodmin Jail, also has a restaurant to compliment the hotel.
