Bodmin - The heart and soul of Cornwall.
Historians will tell you that Bodmin is the only Cornish Town mentioned in The Doomsday Book.
And that, throughout history Bodmin has been the heart and soul of Cornwall.
Yet Bodmin is almost ignored as a holiday town - which is a terrible waste!
Bodmin is a gem of a town - with excellent shops, nice pubs and restaurants, and some fine places to stay.
Bodmin has several excellent family attractions - including...
The Shire Hall; Courtroom Experience; The Bodmin and Wenford Steam Railway; The Military Museum; and
Bodmin Jail - where you can "enjoy" the spookiest night-time guided walks in all of haunted Cornwall!
The grand Georgian Mansions of Pencarrow and Lanhydrock are both within two miles of Bodmin.
Both mansions are open to the public - and are great days out for all the family.
And don't miss the award-winning Camel Valley Vineyard!
And, of course, Bodmin is ideally located for visitors who want to explore one of
Britain's best kept secrets - Bodmin Moor
Unlike Dartmoor - which is often more crowded than Piccadilly Circus - Bodmin Moor is "undiscovered".
You can find solitude on Bodmin Moor, summer or winter, and you can see things that will blow your mind!
If Bodmin Moor were in any other part of Britain - it would be a major tourist attraction.
But here in Cornwall, surrounded by magnificent beaches, it goes almost unnoticed.
Tip - You can't get within a hundred feet of Stonehenge these days - there is a fence around it!
But on Bodmin Moor you can have scores of unfenced standing stones all to yourself!
Bodmin Moor is also peppered with wonderful Cornish villages - including...
Withiel, Nanstallon, Cardinham, Lanivet, and Altanun - with its fabulous church ("The Cathedral in The Moor").
And Bodmin is the ideal choice if you plan to tour Cornwall.
The town lies right at the centre of Cornwall - beside the A30 (Cornwall's main artery).
It is equidistant from both the north and the south Cornwall coasts,
and within easy reach of most major attractions - including The Eden Project.
