Bodmin Moor

Ask many people about Cornwall and they probably will not even mention Bodmin Moor. It does not incorporate a wonderful coastline with beautiful beaches, there are no "hidden" gardens or superb biomes - but it does have stunning countryside, wonderful wildlife, unspoilt villages in a fantastic rural setting and a pace of life that is totally relaxing. Set apart from the bustle of the more popular areas, staying on Bodmin Moor keeps you still within easy reach of all that is wonderful about Cornwall.

The Camel Trail

The Camel Trail, one the of the country's most popular off road cycling facilities is part owned by North Cornwall District Council and by Cornwall County Council. Managed as a Partnership involving local community organisations, the Camel Trail is carefully maintained and promoted in order to accommodate the 350,000 users each year. The Camel Trail is a 18 mile largely traffic free cycle way which passes through some of the most spectacular countryside in the south west. Following the disused railway line once used by the London and South West Railway, cyclists hug the Camel Estuary from Padstow to Wadebridge before joining the route through the deeply incised and beautifully wooded Camel Valley to Bodmin. At Bodmin yet another line, one of the most historic in the country, winds its way inland to the foot of Bodmin Moor where it comes to an end near Blisland, an extraordinarily pretty moorland village.

Bodmin Jail

We are an all weather, family attraction, that includes a licensed bar and restaurant, covered courtyard, with a Civil and Naval Prison housing a museum within its walls split over three levels.
