Steeped in history and located on the edge of the moor, Bodmin is one of Cornwall’s most historic towns.
Featuring an array of impressive granite buildings and historical remnants from Cornwall’s rich tin mining history, Bodmin is situated nearby to Bodmin Moor which offers beautiful, tranquil and iconic landscape to explore throughout the seasons.
The area of Bodmin itself provides a stunning backdrop to some of the most fantastic walks in Cornwall. Keen walkers can join ‘The Saint’s Way’ trail, a popular coast-to-coast walk from Padstow to Fowey, or explore Cardinham Woods which is located on the edge of Bodmin and offers four fascinating exploration trails. Cycling enthusiasts can also take a trip down the iconic Camel Trail and take in the breathtaking views of the Camel Estuary.
