Self catering holidays in Bodmin - Cornwall

Situated in the centre of Cornwall, Bodmin was historically the county town of Cornwall.   Although Truro has now taken over as the county’s city, Bodmin still has a lot to offer and is a pleasant place for a cottage break.

The remains of the historical jail and the county courts in Bodmin can still be visited and the Bodmin Steam Railway is a must with rail enthusiasts. The old railway line from the moors to the sea, 18 miles in total, is a paradise for walkers, bird watchers and cyclists - bikes can be hired locally. With a golf course, a leisure centre and a museum, there is much to see and do. The National Trust has an outstanding property at Lanhydrock only four miles away, and Pencarrow House a mere three miles from Bodmin.

To use this area as a base for your self-catering holiday in Cornwall and to explore the county's main attractions, Bodmin could be a wise choice as the town enjoys a central location in Cornwall.
