Experiences/ Attractions
Recently completely renovated, the Bodmin Jail attraction is not to be missed! The tour delves back in time to show what life in the prison would have been like for prisoners in the 1800s. The tour takes between 30-40minutes and there is a restaurant to grab a spot of lunch or dinner after!
