Bodmin Jail

Inside Bodmin’s forbidding former jail, an impressive walk-through special-effects show brings to life local history and stories of real-life prisoners. Visits also take in the historic cells, the Victorian hanging pit and a macabre museum where exhibits feature Bodmin's ghost stories and a list of executed prisoners.
