Bodmin Jail

Bodmin Jail in North Cornwall, Cornwall, United Kingdom | Attraction | Jail

Welcome toBodmin Jail, a unique heritage asset in North Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Bodmin Jail which has been allowed to decay until the Wheten family bought the site in the summer of 2004. They are ploughing all the revenue from entrance fees and profits from the shop and business as a whole back into the Jail with a ten year plan to revive this infamous Jail; by replacing roofs, internal structures and showing the cells as they once were, whilst also incorporating a museum of Cornish life over the last three centuries.
The vision is to take it ?Back to the Future? where it will become the thriving, vibrant mirror image of the past, a legacy of Cornish history for all to enjoy, a truly memorable day out! Helping Bodmin town, once the capital of Cornwall, to become the historic capital again.
The Bodmin Jail, North Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, is 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. It was the last County Jail in Cornwall, eventually closing in 1927. The Jail now sits at the start of the famous Camel Trail and is the perfect alternative day out.
