    Tips

    If you are looking for somewhere that conjures up the smuggling history of Cornwall, then this is it. The setting for Daphne du Maurier's novel, Jamaica Inn is an 18th century coaching inn which provided travellers respite from crossing the wilds of Bodmin Moor. As it was in the middle of nowhere, it was also the perfect location to hide goods being smuggled into the country from the Cornish coast.

    At Jamaica Inn you will still find a place to rest a while, enjoy some food and drink or even stay the night. Plus a collection of smuggling artefacts to really give you an insight into its history.
