Staff were lovely and helpful. If you have mobility issues there is a buggy that will take you down to the house and garden. You can ask to use one of their wheelchairs to view inside the house. If you phone ahead you can request a mobility scooter to go round the gardens.

Beautiful house and grounds. Interactive activities like learning dance moves and games room. Best of all were the staff and volunteers. Really helpful and patient. Shout out to Graham who was a great guy and seemed to be busy. A must visit.

Beautiful grounds and house, in such a wonderful setting. Plenty to see, definitely worth a visit. Allow enough time to walk from entry point to house and back.. It's a longish gentle slope but transport available if required.

Lovely National Trust property, with house, gardens and extensive grounds to explore. Dogs are only allowed in the outdoor ground and not the main house or gardens so you’ll need to tag team the bow wow. Plenary of parking but if you’re not a National Trust member you’ll need to pay extra for this as well. Plenty of place to eat and drink. Well worth a visit

Too much beautiful things to see in one place. Grounds are dog friendly. House has a little kennal you could leave a well behaved dog there to see the gardens. Stunning walks.

This is, without doubt, my favourite National Trust house. It is not only a stunning house, with spacious and beautiful gardens, but also staff were amazing. We just stopped over when leaving Cornwall, but it is the perfect day to spend your whole day with your loved ones. Do not miss it if you go nearby!

So very interesting and the volunteers were really knowledgeable. Fantastic tapestry and beautiful furniture. The gardens were an absolute pleasure to see.

Dropped in here for a couple of hours while the traffic dropped off on tbe A30. Glad we did, huge grounds to explore (bike hire available on site), lovely manicured gardens and we'll kept house. As we were there in the summer, they had lawn games to entertain the little ones too. We'll worth a visit if your in the area (or stuck on the A30).

Absolutely stunning place,, great house to walk around, and most of it is open, gardens are stunning and the walks around the grounds are amazing and peaceful. Great shop and cafe at the house, and a bigger cafe just before you walk down the drive. A must if your in the area,

The grounds are as magnificent as the house! The best part for me was seeing how the kitchen functioned. I had NO idea! The interiors are wonderfully appointed with period pieces and beautiful portraits. There are several wonderful gardens to view and a small church which is still in used by a small congregation. It is very accessible for people using mobility scooters and there is also a tram for people from the car park to the house. There is a nice gift shop and snack shop. This beautiful example of a country house is well worth a visit!

Love the house, the beautiful ceiling which is being cleaned, which means you can climb up closer to it. Had a lovely cream tea in the cafe. The ground is big and great for dog walking .

Oh wow what can I say about this gem. Absolutely loved it. The house was really nicely decorated with period furnature and items and there was a good description of everything so you got a really good insight into the history of the location. Now to the gardens. Just so so nice, really pleasant walks that wernt over taxing or difficult so we'll within the capabilities of most. I would love to revisit this place again in the near future.

What a property! One of the best we have been to. We took the dogs and so took it in turns to venture inside with the children. The dogs had a wonderful walk around the grounds. Dogs are allowed in the courtyard, through the side gate. There is a lovely cafe and lots of seating and toilet facilities. The house is stunning and is beautifully set up to show what life would have been like for the workers and family at Lanhydrock. Great national trust property. ❤️

Another lovely place to visit. The bluebells were out in the woodlands and looked lovely. We also walked around the extensive formal gardens this time. Camelias, rhododendrons and azaleas were in bloom and provided a great show of colour. Excellent.

Great day out. Lovely dog friendly grounds with an outside cafe and bike hire. House is beautiful and bursting with history; kitchen is amazing. Only gripe is £6 parking fee on top of almost £20 entry. Parking machine does not take notes or credit card.

Never been before until today had a amazing time the house has been the best I've seen yet. The gardens are well looked after and the cafe. The toilets were clean Will return again soon. Well done to everyone 👏

Another great National Trust place in Cornwall. The house, gardens and the surroundings are well maintained. There is a lot to see in and all around one of the most complete Victorian country house. A nice little restaurant in the backyard of the house. Do not miss the kitchen area of the house. Just a note to management, that the billiard room misspelled in the visitors' guidance brochure.

A fabulous house with an interesting history. The grounds were very impressive with walks and areas to bike around. The church was lovely and definitely recommend a visit. There were two lovely tearooms. I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

A wonderful day at Lanhydrock House and Gardens. The sun was shining and the house, although currently going through a restoration project was very interesting. A real asset to the NT. The volunteers were very knowledgeable and made the visit a highlight of our holiday in Bodmin.

Went on a rainy day to "pass some time". It turned out to be well worth the visit. I will return when the weather improves. The gardens are spectacular 👌

Lanhydrock House and Garden in Cornwall is a stunning Victorian estate. With beautifully restored rooms and lush gardens, it offers a glimpse into 19th-century luxury and a peaceful outdoor escape. A must-visit for history enthusiasts or those seeking a serene day out 🍃.

This is quite a property - National Trust managed. Parking for motorhomes alongside the coach parking, no height barriers. £1.50 ph or £6 the day - free to members. Short walk to reception, then a 10 min down hill walk to the house. Buggy transport available (suggested donation £1). This is a huge property, so allow at least a couple of hours. We had nearly 4 hrs wandering, house, church and gardens. Now springtime, the magnolias and rhododendrons are spectacular. We've missed the best of the daffodils. There's a small bag policy - if too big, bags must be left at the bag lockers when going round the house. The kitchen and nursery rooms are huge, very interesting and full. There's a children's play room with chess, jigsaws etc. Currently the 'ceiling tour' takes you up into the most amazing views of the long hall ceiling. Walking along scaffolding platforms you find yourself within reach of the most interesting art work. This alone was worth the visit. Furniture can still be seen, albeit stacked in cabinets and displayed on shelves. The church is situated alongside the house, and worth visiting. The gardens are a must. I found myself looking up the family history on the Internet, realizing that I hadn't really been shown as much as I would have liked round the house. We took the buggy back up ... well worth a visit, plenty to see inside on a rubbish day, and lots of hard paths if a bit wet underfoot.

A must-see for everyone of all ages. So much history if that is your interest. Or, the parkland to take a bicycle out into. The gardens never disappoint. Whatever the time of year you visit, there are always beautiful flowers, ferns, and magnolias amongst all the Camellias, that flower from February. We love it here, it us also National Trust, so that is a bonus if a member.

Absolutely incredible National Trust venue. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The Gardens are stunning and the House is immaculately kept. A must see for all!

Pure English delight. A beautiful place to walk, take in the breathtaking Cornish countryside, rolling hills, woodland trails, formal gardens, and stately home. Finish with a tasty cake, hot chocolate, or coffee in one of the two fabulous coffee shops. Dog friendly, child friendly (worth the visit just for the play park). Definitely one of our favourite National Trust parks.

Managed to get free tickets online to visit this wonderfull house,and when we visited , they were in the process of restoring the ceiling , and visitors were allowed on the scaffolding to get a close look at the ceiling , this restoration is going on until October 2024 , and you will never get this opportunity again,lovely well kept building, parking was 6 pounds for the day

A fabulous garden and place, highly recommended if you are in the area ,definitely a 5 stars venue. I had to deduct 3 stars due to the frosty reception we received by an elderly bald man at reception: we were not even given a map despite us mentioning we traveled 6.5 hours and were visiting LHG for the very first time. We were made to feel like second class citizens as we had our puppy Louis with us and the venue clearly isn't puppy friendly at all. We were really lucky as we made lots of friends while waiting at the cafe to take turns to visit and house and gardens and the visitors told us about the church and gardens and walks available at the higher grounds as we were on our way out!!! A true example of such a fabulous venue and its reputation can be easily ruined by poor staff and no care for the paying customer what so ever. Overall a great place and highly recommended

Changed a lot now since it was bought for renovation into a 5* Hotel, but still can see parts of the castle as it was, you can also have a wander around the Hotel to view the magnificent renovation, then marry up the ruins to the new....

Myself and my partner took part in a 'Heritage Tour' earlier today - we booked based on the good reviews online and Bodmin Jail did not disappoint! It's a great activity to do, especially if the weather is bad as its mainly inside/undercover. The tour guide was brilliant - clearly very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting. I'd say it's aimed more at older children, if you have any - just based on the subject matter. On our tour there were a variety of ages, however. Overall - would recommend. I felt it was better value for money than some of the other tourist stuff in the local area!

An interesting mix of history told through modern technology then a chance to visit some original cells and the gallows. Quite scary for young children as some emphasis on it being the most haunted building in England but we really enjoyed it

The hotel is absolutely stunning with beautiful interiors and lovely old features in the building. Staff were super friendly and the food was delicious. They were also so accommodating for animals and even looked after our dog for a few hours. The wheelchair accessible bathroom in the room was one of the best we’ve had with a lovely open shower and all necessary adaptions. The bedroom needs some accessibility help as the bed was too high and also too close to the cupboard so a wheelchair user has no access to cupboard, fridge and safe, for this we’ve taken off a star.

An interesting look into the history of the prison. There is a lot to learn. It was recommended to buy tickets online in advance for a time slot - we arrived for our time slot and we’re waiting an extra 15 minutes after this to enter - so really questioned why we booked a time and then couldn’t enter then? Parking is a nightmare, there is no ample carpark for the attraction and a local car park must be used. The attraction was very busy, perhaps they should look at limiting their numbers more so you can experience the jail better. Whilst the experience was different and interesting, it would’ve been nice to have seen more of the building without the extreme theming and dark lighting. The most interesting parts of the visit we’re seeing the original featured without themed lighting and props. Overall a nice visit for an afternoon, but there are a few areas that I’d note for improvement.

Finally visited after about 4yrs of not quite getting there whilst on holidays in Cornwall. No excuse this time as only 10mins away and it was excellent, not what was expected at all. Clever use of virtual reality makes for a very entertaining experience that guides you through different aspects of the jail ending in a final climax at the gallows! Entry is approx £18 per adult but is well worth the price.

This is such a great place to visit! It's very accessible - both my dad and I use a walker and they have lifts there. You can also take a mobility scooter in there, as long as it's no wider than 630mm, as some of the doorways are a little narrow. I really enjoyed my time there, I just wish it was a longer experience. I think our visit took about an hour. All the staff were so friendly and greeted us all warmly at first sight.

We booked the 'go darker' tour whilst on holiday in Cornwall. Caroline was our guide and did a fantastic job of recounting the history and bringing the attraction to life. We loved the virtual part of the tour and the end set piece of the Moor. We we're there for over 3 hours, so you get good value for money. You'll come away with lots to think about as well as having far more knowledge about the history of our prison system and how it has evolved over the years. Some gruesome stories and torture devices were part of the tour, but this was not frightening for our children aged 10. Everyone in our group came away enjoying the experience. We also loved the hotel section and would definitely consider booking a room if we return to Cornwall. The hotel has tastefully revamped the prison and could be a model to other attractions with how to make a site something fresh and new. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Caroline was brilliant and an excellent addition to the tour. We'd say it is vital to book a tour guide, as there would have been loads missed without her. Highly recommended 👌

We did the self guided tour. Parking was a tad far from the prison. Restaurant onsite is expensive and not a lot of choice. The jail part was really good, interactive and dark in parts. Enjoyed it. Shame the lights out is only in the evening. Enjoyable all the same.

Well worth the £15 per person entry fee. The holographic walk through is very well put together. Would have liked to have done the night tour but sadly we didn't have the time. Booking online was easy. Parking is a bit of an issue. Currently you have to park about 5/10 minutes walk away depending on your speed of walking. There's a new pay and display parking opposite the jail but it wasn't open when we visited.

It was very quiet the day we went, but I expect it would get very busy during the school holidays. You enter via the dark walk, a brilliant 4D experience which leads you through to the jail itself. There are lots of interactive exhibits, perfect to keep children occupied. The are your options, we chose a self guided tour, but a guided tour would be very interesting. I would certainly recommend a visit to Bodmin Jail

Worth a visit. 60million was spent on refurbishing the jail and creating a hotel and museum on the site. The original buildings had been stripped, demolished or were in ruins. The refurbishment is really good but somehow the authenticity of its life as a working prison from the late 1700’s and through the 1800’s is not totally there because of this.

Bodmin jail attraction experience is definitely one not to be missed. We only fortunately came across this experience as it was a semi rainy day and we're looking for activities. We went with our children who thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's definitely immersive and well created turning stories into hi-tech re-enactments. It's a little spooky and the jail cells with stories about the inhabitants were very chilling and gave a idea of life within these walls years ago. Definitely would recommend any families with inquisitive children. Mine were ages 1, 3 and 7yrs and we're fine with the dark walk through. Book in advance if going during holidays like us as it was sold out.

We visited at 5.30pm midweek and it felt like we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Since the renovation its so much better and much more interactive, I certainly learnt much more about the notorious prisoners which were put to death there and the history of the building. I probably wouldn't recommend for very young children as it can get a little intense as you approach the condemned cell and hanging pit (don't want to give anything away). Would certainly recommend visiting.

Excellent hidden gem. Sign in town is reversed, so use sat-nav. Parking iffy, some on road but go past the yet to open jail car park (council disputes apparently) and there is another small car park. Jail is very historic, old and new bits. Guided tours at 9.39, 13.00 and 15.00 but we did a self guided one and it was still very informative. Downstairs is almost Disney quality history of Bodmin and Cornwall, leading to old jail cells, gallows etc. Paid £18 each and worth every penny. Stayed about an hour and a half. Restaurant and tea rooms, plus gift shop. Not really wheelchair friendly, although there are lifts to get to most places. Steps abound though.

Ghost tour was great, very spooky. Tours guide were really good. Especially like the walk around on your own at the end of the tour, may have given some of the other tour goers a fright (by accident of course)

I've attended many private investigations at this venue, long b4 the hotel and museum. I've been twice to the attraction as the interactive dark walk /museum. Never fails, My children and I love it. We came out of season and didn't really have to wait. Maybe worth checking before arriving peak times.

Oh my goodness, Bodmin Jail, we visited the weekend for your evening tour, I was blown away, I haven't had so much fun but been scared so much ever. I just want to take a minute to say the whole place looked so festive. As someone who loves Christmas, I took a picture of every Christmas tree and hat I saw. The while attraction is amazing, all your staff were so kind and helpful, I can't wait to come and visit again to do a night time Investigation

This place is everything we were hoping for and more. We purchased the Ghost Hunt experience, which ran from 9.30pm-1am, and we certainly wasn't disappointed. From Ghostly touches to even witnessing poltergeist activity and even capturing a ghostly arm reaching out from the bars in the hanging room. If you are into the discovery of the paranormal world, this is definitely the place to go. Staff are extremely professional, with a great knowledge of the jails history. This place definitely has everything you want to get the hairs on the back of your neck standing up.

It had been several decades since we last visited and we werent disappointed at all. Still quite an authentic well presented plenty to learn watch see do and absorb over several floors . Being winter and an ordinary weekday tuesday the place was almost empty which was great. No queing at all. We chose the self guided tour. Good facilities for the disabled. Clean spacious disabled toilet on ground floor. A good lift to all floors. Competative ticket rates. £15 includes free carer . Lovely friendly helpful staff. Warm welcome. Clean safe and organised tour. Very interesting interactive displays. Lots of tunnels and exhibitions to explore also loads of history fascinating accounts stories and an enjoyable theatre show for all ages. As much of it is in the dark and can be quite errie and scarey not for little ones any younger than around 10 . Very good enjoyable visit. Educative historical facts mixed with folk lore and fascinating details. We visited the gift shop afterwards. Souvenoirs and gifts are as expected mugs pens pencils cards sticks of rock bodmin jail booklets jewellery clothing and the usual expected wares. Very pricey. I bought a fridge magnet for £3.95 and other items of pocket money prices. Suitable for children of all ages up to adults. childrens t shirts are expensive avetage price of £10 +. Pens pencils key rings, mugs cornish souvenoirs etc. All in all a very good display. Give yourself at least an hour or 2 to see everything .

Always wanted to check out Bodmin as my mom always use to say the beast of Bodmin more so when we're staying close thought we would visit, that's when we stumbled upon the Jail attraction and decided to visit a few days later, I did read some of the reviews of people moaning it's like a cheap tourist trap and they charge to much for it but we thought we would make our own minds up as we really enjoy things like this, I'm glad we didn't listen as it was great and we really enjoyed it! Yes at the beginning there is some holograms that guid you through a story of some of the inmates that were housed at Bodmin jail and what there crimes were but I thought it was a really good idea to set up some sort of back story that leads you into the jail at the end or you would just be in and out in 15 minutes if your just looking at the cells and wouldn't be value for money! I think they give you alot of information and incite into what life was like at the jail and it was cool to see some of the artifacts they had found from the old jail and even the list of people who were hung there and what there crimes were, all in all we really enjoyed it and were definitely glad we visited, the parking situation isn't great the carpark is closed so we used the Sainsbury car park as advised we did double check inside and they said we had 2 n half hours free parking as an understanding with the attraction, I definitely recommend a visit!

We went for afternoon tea at Bodmin jail, the service was amazing. Edward who met us, customer service skills were 10/10. Very friendly and ensured we wanted for nothing throughout our experience in the Chapel champagne bar. The cakes were delicious and overall an excellent afternoon out.

I visited last year, a forlorn scent of neglect and decay filled the air, the track was like something from a YouTube video and when the train crawled into Bodmin General slower than walking pace I was half expecting to see passengers sat on top of the carriage roofs. Place full of nasty people who seek enjoyment for themselves instead of prioritising what needs to be done.

A unique (?) experience, preserved steam with 2 branch lines terminating in one station... Early season, so a little quiet, but lots of atmosphere to soak up...

This is a 1950s recreated station with a steam railway. The "lines" run in a "Y" shape. On extreme is a halt towards Wadebridge on the Camel Trail, the other is Bodmin Parkway. Each trip involves a return up one branch followed by a return up the other. An "all lines" ticket allows you to do both. The station and train are very dog friendly and the volunteer staff are delightful.

Popped in here today with my puppy to have a look around and get my puppy used to new experiences. Everyone was so lovely and friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be back to take a train ride soon.

Really lovely visit today to their open day. Lovely cake and coffee. Well organised for social distancing. Great to see that they're keeping engineering work going too. Very open and informative discussion about opportunities for volunteering and helping out on the railway.

Staff really go out of there way to make your day great. Fantastic day with wheelchair provisions

Steam trains run from here, it was a given that whilst in the area we'd have to take my little bit who is train mad. He lived it, almost couldn't get him to leave. Will be back on another occasion.

The kids love a ride on steam trains, so we gave this a go as seen as we were staying down the road from it. It was great fun and loved the ride! There is nothing quite like a ride in a rain being pulled along by a steam train. We did the trip from Bodmin General to Bodmin Parkway which took about an hour there and back. If we had the time we could have waited a little longer and done the other trip to Boscarne Junction. Loved it!

Amazing day spent in this lovely railway. Paid for a roaming ticket which was great value for money as you can stay on the train all day. Lovely sandwich and jacket potatoes from the cafe at a reasonable price.

Excellent experience, especially if you like steam trains..!! Couple of hours round trip enjoying the countryside. There is a buffet car where you can buy drinks and snacks.

The trip was nice. It is more about the ride though, than the destinations. Therefore, if you want the experience of sitting in a seat coasting along Cornish railway lines, in a train which has been restored to the best of its ability as they used to during days of old, when life was not so immediate. It had beautiful antique layout, the staff are super friendly, and went above and beyond when I informed them of the fact it was my son's birthday. Our table was decorated beautifully, the cake was delicious, the staff sang happy birthday to my son, and even let him try on their hats. It really was an amazing experience. Greatly tecommend this for a making memories moment.

We had a lovely day the staff were so friendly and as it was my husband's birthday they invited him to see the boiler room and explain the workings of the train and put a happy birthday sign on the engine. The cafe, shop and toilets were very good too. Thank you everyone for making it a special day😍

Pencarrow house was a lovely visit, the grounds are well looked after but don’t expect national trust standards, the property only has two gardeners and volunteers. The house tour is worth doing and the lady that guided us through was knowledgeable and passionate. We stopped in the cafe and the two cans of fizz I purchased cost £3.90 however the food looked good.

Beautiful place to walk around with the dog, they ask to keep your dog on a leash until certain areas. Goods walks even after all the rain where you’d expect them to be really muddy, cafe staff were brilliant and the food and drink was great. 4 miles of walking, plenty to see and a tired out dog.

Lovely gardens full of spring promise. Scented rhododendron and a handkerchief tree. Good dog walking and pleasant cafe with helpful staff.

Beautiful House and stunning gardens. Dog friendly, apart from in the house. Cafe is reasonable, good quality food and lovely coffee and cake! A lovely place for a day out.

Highly recommend Pencarrow House and Gardens for a visit. The house is viewed via a guided tour and they run at 45 minute intervals from 11.15. No need to pre book, just turn up and choose a time slot. Our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable about the house and family history. It was a very enjoyable experience. The gardens are extensive and you can easily spend a couple of hours exploring. There is a tea room and a children's play area on site. I would definitely visit again.

We went on a sunny day and enjoyed strolling around the gardens. Probably not so much fun if it was raining! Very good tour of the house ( extra charge). We had a delicious soup from the cafe, which is next to a children's play area.

Really great country house with fantastic gardens for walking. Really well kept with easy walking routes that are mobility friendly. The ladies in the shop are so friendly and helpful. Dogs are welcome with only common sense rules

Wonderful tour of the house - allow an hour for Karen's "performance" - much, much more than your average guide! The gardens in the spring are magnificent - colour everywhere, and the walk up to the lake should not missed.

I visited with Mum on Monday and thoroughly enjoyed the House tour , The tour guide Trish was welcoming and knowledgeable on every detail and story of the Families who lived there. She encouraged questions and discussions . Trish was very positive , cheerful and full of information to share.

From the moment we arrived we knew we picked a lovely place to visit. Hillary welcomed us and informed us of all we needed to know. The house guide is on a first come basis so arrive early to get a slot. Highly recommended the peacock cafe food and service is amazing. The house and grounds are beautiful with lots of amazing history given. Totally recommend

Inside this beautifully presented family house a one hour escorted tour was expertly delivered by an enthusiastic guide (in our case, Kathy), providing personal history across many generations to a treasure trove of historic portraits, priceless porcelain and period furniture. Outside the carefully tended gardens, watercourses and mature woodlands provide a colourful backdrop to this fascinating family saga.

I absolutely loved visiting this Property. We arrived and signed on to a tour with a lady called Karen. We found her so interesting and she brought our experience to life. Encyclopaedic knowledge of her subject and I still keep recalling little interesting nuggets of information. For example she explained the meaning behind "mind your beeswax", "saving face", "the dregs of society"..... I loved the personal feel of the house, the family photos etc and you felt the family's presence everywhere. The grounds are lovely and after our Tour we visited some of the gardens. All in all a fascinating place to visit.

Very beautiful garden, absolutely worth visiting. Lovely selection of rhododendron. I visited when the bluebells were out which is definitely worth seeing. Especially along meadows/ Holly walk where there are also lots of wild garlic and other wildflowers. Map is clear and areas of the garden which are inaccessible to wheelchair/ buggies seem clearly marked. All the staff I spoke to well friendly and helpful. Nice little café, shop, plant sales & second hand book selection.

Absolutely beautiful inside and out. - 1 star due to the fact we were ignored at the door of the tour, so missed first fifteen minutes (tour were just on the inside) and it's only an hour tour. Apart from that, the tour guide was lovely, the house is sensational and the grounds are majestic. Wish it would have been longer as so much to see.

Beautiful house steeped in history, tour guide Jackie was very knowledgeable and made the tour very personal. Outstanding views over very picturesque gardens and lake.

The wine tour was amazing, as a family we all learnt so much and gained a new appreciation for camel valley and their amazing journey to create their wine. Duncan was an amazing tour guide who kept us all captivated and engaged! Can’t recommend enough. Duncan was a legend!

Camel Valley wine tour, well worth doing. We heard all about how the grapes are grown and then used to create their wines. The guide (Kit) was very friendly, approachable and most importantly knowledgeable. After the tour we sat over looking the vineyard drinking their wine (which was super tasty). Very enjoyable tour and relaxing few hours sampling the lovely wines. Recommended.

Beautiful terrace overlooking the vines. Essential to reserve in advance and tables are released not too far in advance which is fantastic, allows anyone to go with a tiny amount of pre-planning (and stops it being booked up months in advance like everywhere else seems to be). Would highly recommend as a stop on the return leg of the camel trail. Larger tables are put to the side and rear and unfortunately a little further back so you can’t actually get the same view but it’s still a lovely setting. We had beautiful weather and the wine selection is what you would want. One non-wine drinker with us could only have softies as no other alcohol option.

Stunning location for a vineyard tour and wine tasting. The tour was really interesting and entertaining. Only suggestion.....the tasting could have been led by someone at the vineyard to give us more information on the grapes and wines. More than 4 wines would have been good as well. Otherwise.....really very enjoyable.

We didn't book to go on the tour (we have been wine tasting for over 40 years) but we turned up "on spec" this morning to taste the wines. We chose a tasting of five sparkling wines which were excellent. The staff were delightful and the wines were extremely good. Well worth a visit.

We recently did the grand tour at Camel Valley and it was a great experience with the tour being lead by the main man Sam Lindo which was ace and so insightful. His knowledge was brilliant for all the questions asked and the whole tour was really relaxed with a friendly group of people, we toured all areas and then got to taste 5 wines at the end (all amazing) and as a real treat we got to taste a 2009 sparking which was so deep and rich. We were given a really tasty breadstick and it's really cool that the guys at camel are pretty chilled and laid back about what they do and boy they make some amazing wines. We enjoyed the tour big time and were lucky to have some gorgeous sunny weather, a little bit of shopping afterwards had to be done and I'm so looking forward to trying the Raymond Blanc sparking Rose for the first time! 🍾

Excellent Wine Tour. Kit was really knowledgeable and showed us all around the vines and winery. Great value at £18 including four fabulous wines. Recommended. The views were stunning….

Great find on the Camel Trail. It not only serves very good coffee, lunches and lovely cream tea, icecreams but also gifts. They are part of the Camel Trail Vineyard

Took the opportunity to duck in during an unexpected downpour. Had two half glasses each with a plan to come back to enjoy a tasting when we were better prepared, but just HAD to leave with a bottle of their sparkling red Brut, it was that delicious. Lovely staff gave us a cosy table from which we could enjoy our wines and watch the lush vineyards getting a refreshing shower. Will be back soon!

September 2023: Great experience on a Sunny day, sitting under a parasol, looking over their vineyard. Our group of 3 had a flight taster of all 8 wines.

Wow, what can I say that hasn't already been said. A most enjoyable day out. Duncan our tour guide was absolutely brilliant, lighthearted, amusing,but with that very knowledgeable!! Camel valley sparkling rose is one of my favourites, plus I now have a new favourite Raymond Blanc!! Well done all involved.

Really lovely place to walk

Really beautiful place! We did an 8km hike to the two highest peaks - Roughtor and Brown Willy - and it was fairly accessible, easy to navigate and incredibly beautiful.

Great place on any weather

Very briefly explored the moors but the weather and time quickly sent us off, but a very interesting place and looking forward to walking through it more in future

Ideal for walking especially with your dog, so quiet and peaceful.

Great place for a day out

Bodmin Moor a really beautiful rugged place to live. Lots to see, old tin mines, quaint villages, wildlife and craggy tors as well as the mast on Caradon Hill. On clear days from Caradon hill you can see for miles and the sea. I love it there.

Another grate place to go, wild grazing, horses to phesents. Also some hidden gems off the beaten tracks

Great place to visit and walk best to do it in when the weather's good some great views

Bodmin Moor is a nice place. Also Monac is also good place. This all area no pollution zone.

Great bit of local history

Beautiful building, lovely helpful and friendly staff. There is a warm space where you can pop in and have a cuppa. There are monthly markets that are worth visiting and the Christmas light switch on was fabulous this year.

Excellent. Great service and professional staff too!

Old Shire Hall is now a comprehensive visitor’s centre, with tourist information, displays of Bodmin’s history, and the Courtroom Experience. We liked the old building. Don’t miss first floor gallery

Called in to see the Tourist Information Centre. Plenty of information available.

Built between 1837 and 1838 the Shire Hall is an architectural gem with its extraordinary interior cantilevered staircase and the imposing solid granite front facade. Used as the County Court until 1988 the building has now been carefully restored to its original glory.

Friendly staff and lots of information. Great example of local historical building being used for the community. I hope they manage to open up the courtroom soon.

I visit this place for a monthly art lecture in a group of like minded people. Excellent venue, parking close by, easy access

Visited here today Found it very interesting Exhibits well laid out and labelled Small amount of parking at the keep but roadside parking and a pay and display car park within a very short distance Picnic tables outside and toilets on site Stairs to climb to visit the exhibits Uniforms for children to dress up in as well as a quiz for them to do on the way round The staff were friendly and helpful We all enjoyed our visit

Absolutely fantastic glad I went... awesome collection definitely would go again worth every penny 👍

Very interesting visit. Plenty to see and lots to learn

FABULOUS! A very wet day in Cornwall so we decided to head to this lovely little museum. It's a cracking time - my son could dress up in various uniforms and even take a look inside a WW1 trench. He learnt the true cost of war alongside what the army does to aid in disasters around the world. It's a solid few hours and run by very lovely people. Your ticket gets you back in for 12 months so we'll definitely be returning.

Full history of the DCLI with great displays of weapons, uniforms and battle honours... Well worth the visit... Colin? Was very helpful in directing us to our area of interest and went the extra mile with lots of additional supporting information... Fabulous venue and experience

Absolutely fabulous, the exhibits date back the centuries and are genuine. £7 for entry is very cheap for all the militaria on view. Was in the original Keep for over 4 hrs today and still hadn't saw, in detail, all the display. This event is the best I have ever seen. For WW1 followers which is my main interest, make a visit, I recommend it. Staff very helpful.

Great museum with small cafe and book store worth a visit have reenactment groups occasionally

Amazing experience. So many medals on display including VC's. Very educational for young and old. There was a school visit while we were there and it was very clear how much the children were enjoying the history! Very impressed with the museum.

Visited here as I just visited Bodmin jail around the corner.Parked on the road right outside. It’s a militaria museum on a couple of levels nicely laid out. There’s a small building with 3 cells in downstairs. You can spend about an hour here and adults are £7 kids £3. Free re-entry for 12months. Friendly staff,picnic area,snacks and drinks and toilets available.Museum is mainly upstairs.

Researching Family history. A wonderful exhibition of the DCLI history.

My son loved this museum as we spent a good hour and a half looking and paying respect to the fallen that I've served with. "We will remember them"

Fantastic workshop and knowledgeable staff who take time to share their expertise. Lots of great artefacts thoughtfully displayed and my 11 year old loves the opportunity to dress up in authentic military uniform!

We visit regularly as we have a son who is fascinated by the war. There is an extensive range of artefacts from lots of different wars. Their special events are always very well thought out, most recently the D-Day Dodgers. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Well worth visiting.

A warm welcome from an open wood burner ro be found in this dog friendly pub Excellent service with great food from an extensive menu. The portions are generous and the food well cooked and presented. I would thoroughly recommend this hostelry.

We had my 73rd birthday meal in the pub. Marvellous food fantastic service. It may not look like much as a pub from the outside but looks are very deceiving, all the staff were helpful, prices are very good. Cannot really rate this place high enough.

Went for lunch today. We are holidaying in the village. The welcome from all staff was warm and friendly. We both had the mixed meat Sunday lunch and a dessert. The quality of the food was very good and portion size was generous. All very reasonably priced. We have a small dog and he was welcome as well. All in all a very positive experience and having seen people eating a generous dish of cheesy chips..... we plan to visit again later in the week. 😊😊 Christine and Brian Lloyd with Teddy

Marcia served 17 people today with various dishes. Everyone was more than happy with the food, it was very hot served quickly and delicious. They do Sunday roast in small, medium and large which is so good for all appetites. Will certainly visit again! Well done

Absolutely excellent. The prawn fiesta by far the best prawn cocktail i have ever had. Steak mushroom and ale pie with veg really good too. Marcia and the team very welcoming. Will definitely be returning.

Great service, quick and friendly, proper little Cornish pub with plenty of outside seating. Food is good, large portions and well done. Pretty good vegan and veg options. We love this place, perfectly placed among the many interesting places on Bodmin moor, go for a good hike and finish off at the cheesewring. Great day out.

Have been there several times, recommended by a friend who took us there. She & her family go regularly. Very friendly owner and staff. Excellent food and bar. Can't wait to go again. Lovely area too.

We used to eat here, regularly, until Covid. We returned for an evening meal for a special occasion and I can’t believe how far the service and cooking had slipped. The menus were dog eared and grubby, while about a third of the items were crossed through, in biro, freehand - not even with a ruler. As I collected the menu, I was told of additional items that were also out of stock and this was as they had only just started to serve food for the evening! The choice of food for someone with a dairy allergy was very brief and my wife, for our special occasion, has a reheated baked potato, some beans and some very old looking salad. I had a curry that looked and tasted like it had been reheated from a tin. To be fair, our daughter had a fair looking omelette. It is now a pub that charges BEFORE the food is served, which is never a good sign. The service, with the exception of a nice waitress, seemed to show that we were not welcome from the start. We have since to a replacement regular; it's much nicer and only 2 miles down the road.

Great interesting woodland garden. Very friendly knowledgeable owners ! Lovely cake and tea in their garden quiet and so peaceful. Well stocked nursery, priced just right. Go it's so lovely.A little difficult to find at first. Keep going up the road!x

Beautiful gem hidden in the valley. Owners very welcoming, the gardens are a must see. Tea with lemon drizzle cake was lovely surrounded by flowers.

A funny old place but worth a visit. Quite a range of plants to buy and the sprawling garden sets it all off very well. They also do tea and cake! The car park is not huge.

Private garden, closing Autumn 2019 as the owners are retiring. Worth a wander if you're passing that way. Toilets and refreshments available. Dog friendly.

Small but lovely gardens and nursery. Friendly owners who willingly provided knowledge on plants, nice tea and a lovely bit of lemon drizzle cake.

Lovely gardens with knowledgeable owners. Interesting, high quality plants in the nursery which are good value. Delicious tea!

The owners are really nice. They greeted myself and my wife as soon as we parked and walked into the nursery. The plants were reasonable too. Thankyou pinsla

Lovely little place. The owners are lovely and we've come away with so many ideas for our own garden.

Lovely place . Lots of history in here . The ladys that work there are wonderful .. it's free to enter but donations welcome and you could buy so little bits too not overpriced

Very informative and interesting - I learnt a lot I didn't know about our town.

Small museum in the middle of Bodmin. Entry is by donation not fee. Its well worth a visit and a reasonable donation. It includes facts and entries about people of Bodmin, geology and life. Something for everyone. Lots to read in the exhibition.

I loved visiting the Museum, based on the history of the city of Bodmin, the ladies who are accompanying visitors are really very friendly, very willing to talk about the whole history, really very kind, it's worth visiting this museum.

Lovely local museum with great volunteers. Lots of different aspects of local history well laid out and great for a wander.

Lovely little museum, very informative. The kids loved doing the quiz as we went round. The staff were very friendly and answered any questions the kids had. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely loved it, so much info and to see. This was a free of charge entry so we put money in theit donation box. Very friendly staff. Thank you

Visited yesterday so impressed with the town and museum. We had our dogs Mollie and Bruce and were delighted to find they were made to feel very welcome, with Mollie showing signs of wanting to be a receptionist. Thank you to everyone especially the two ladies who explained the history of this area and made our visit so pleasant.

As a cider drinker I always seek out these places and as we were staying very close this was a must! It was a very quiet weekday morning and we were the only ones in the very large car-park. The lovely lady in the shop gave me a taste of both their still ciders and a blend, all were delicious so we bought a poly container and some bottles. They have live events too (was one the day before) and it's a perfect country spot for it. Highly recommended for cider drinkers!!

Visited Haywood Farm Cider today and were absolutely delighted by the cider. Really tasty local cider made from apples grown on site. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. I hear they do events, and tours also. Extra thanks to the farm as our car broke down on the way out and the people there helped us get started. Thank you - we are happily at home drinking your lovely dry cider.

Amazing place, I visited last year, and returned again this year, apple juice was fabulous and made nice gifts for work colleagues, the slightly sparkling elderberry cider they do is probably my favourite. It was exceptionally nice to see they also had a mulled cider in their range for the Christmas season.

Just popped in to grab some cider for our holiday in Cornwall. We was the only there around 20 minutes and impression they made was marvellous. The lady in the store was lovely to speak to, letting us try the different ciders and explaining them fully before we bought some. The cider itself is gorgeous, real proper cider! And best of all, it’s so affordable! Amazing prices compared to some more corporate farms! The beer garden is very chic and cool, some people were already there enjoying the sunshine when we arrived! I will do the tour when I come back on holiday and will love to see the live bands 🍎

So I had Haywards cider before but never bought direct from the farm. The lady serving us was awesome. We tried samples where we could blend between dry and sweet to our taste. Lovely lady and nothing to much trouble. Typical Cornish cider farm. Would thoroughly recommend this place.

During a short stay in Cornwall I made a point of visiting Haywoods Farm. And bought a few 2 ltrs and sparkling bottles back home. The dry Cider was lovely. The sparkling was delightful. And on the advice of the owner the 80 (percent of dry) and 20 (percent of sweet) mix was absolutely amazing 👏

Popped in on the last day of our holiday and were able to walk through fields to see all the apple trees and where the cider is produced. Lovely gem of a place and very friendly staff. Naturally, we didn’t leave empty handed..!!

Tucked away off a side road from nearby St Mabyn, this is a gem of a place for cider drinkers. Occasional live music, stop lots of shabby-chic seating and beautifully clean toilet facilities if you plan to stick around. Really friendly staff on the farm shop/tap room

Visit on a Sunday when live music is on a great throwback experience in a rustic farm setting and the real ciders not bad either. Bring your own comfy picnic chair to listen in comfort.

If you like cider made the traditional way this is the place to go definitely worth the drive. They let you try before you buy. The lady who talked us through the history of the farm and how they make it was really lovely and helpful. You can walk around the orchard or just sit and take in the beautiful view and have a drink and the cider it's self was amazing definitely some of the best cider I have had. Can't wait to come back

We saw a sign for Haywood whilst cycling the camel trail, so decided to pop in and explore. We ended up meeting the maker - Tom, who took us through a tasting and a little tour of his barn setup.

Not well signposted and not many places to park. Nice walks around but there's nothing much to link it with the Arthurian legends.

Beautiful remote area where legend has it Excalibur was kept by the Lady of the Lake in the takes off King Arthur.

Not really much to see here. We visited in the October half-term after our stay at the Jamaica Inn. The weather started to come in & it made it feel quite bleak! Can imagine the fabled legend of Excalibur rising from the depths of this dark & cold pool!

When i was there there were no other people. A great place to take a rest. The walk from the road is like 2 minutes. There are no benches where you can sit on.

Beautiful and fairly secluded, even at the height of summer. It's possible to swim in the lake though the water is about shoulder height with a muddy bottom.

One of the smaller lakes which as far as I could tell you have to park nearby and walk down to.

Open air scenic surrounded with wildlife

Nice loop walk on roads from Jamaica Inn, good to walk off lunch!

We attended a communion service. It was conducted in a well ordered way with a lay person and visiting clergyman sharing the leading. The clergyman preached well. Reception of communion gave the option of receiving bread and a common cup or tincturing the bread. You had to choose your line. The style was central church with a nod to bells and incense.

A surprisingly good venue for a concert. Just a shame that after paying good money for the show some people don't know how to shut up - but that clearly isn't the venues fault.

60+ Christmas Trees in their annual display plus second year with a Santa's Grotto. Program of events (some with charges) during Advent. Drinks and cake, pasties etc available at cheap prices.

A beautiful Church, well worth a visit if you are passing.

Attended a christening here recently. If your a historian,this church is the site of St petrocs remains and has a full narrative of the churches history throughout the building,with an alter dating back over 900 years!

There is a wonderful Christmas Tree Festival on at the moment.

Wonderful Sunday church service, very welcoming. Stunning stained glass windows 🥰

Beautiful, because there is the original 15th C. Ruined church behind. See pics. I practiced Tai chi there, very still and atmospheric.

My first ever visit with a friend to see the Christmas trees, after living in Bodmin for over 30years, absolutely stunning, and all the hard work put in by everyone, the schools etc, a pleasure to see and experience.. thank you

Lovely warm atmosphere and a great Victor who is both friendly and makes you feel at ease.

"Open Daily" - closed on the Saturday we were visiting Bodmin

A good walk, do-able for all abilities but do wear appropriate footwear. Great views over Cornwall

Great walk and easy to climb the rocks just be careful at the top. Something about these rocks amaze you the sheer size and shapes seems like your on Mars or another planet. It's a must do if you visit Cornwall and free car park. Allow 2 or 3hrs for this trip. 👍

Absolutely stunning views of the surrounding moorland and Brown Willy, tough walk up but definitely worth up. 9/10, absolutely recommend.

Nice windy yomp up to this Tor. Free car park. Good starting point for 10 mile walk via Brown Willy, Garrow Tor and St Breward.

Amazing place for a walk, with or without the dog. If you have difficulty walking I'd advise against it. An amazing atmospheric location, it's moorland so expect it to be wet in places and muddy, take appropriate footwear, nothing fancy and certainly not heels as one lady attempted to do.

Beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed this walk. If I remember correctly, there were no cafes or restrooms around. We brought our lunch with us, and would suggest that you do the same. On the day we went, the weather was slightly annoying. This picture was taken when it was nice and sunny, after it rained and hailed. So, be cautious! Don't forget that you will be in an open field. Bring umbrellas. Wear rain boots. Get ready to see wild horses.

The walk up Rough Tour is quite an easy one from the car park, which is spacious and free if charge! If you want you can walk all the way to Brown Willy, the highest point of both Bodmin Moor and Cornwall.

Ay its nice to walk up an stuff, if you need directions search for the Rough Tor Car Park. Take your dog here! watch out for the ants! the ground is wet af!! Real good stuff!

Wonderful walk, bit muddy in parts, lovely views to Bristol Channel and Lundy
