Bodmin Jail The Crown Jewels and the Domesday Book were stored at Bodmin Jail during the First World War, and the last hanging took place as recently as 1909. The prison dates back to 1776, and public executions were always guaranteed crowd pullers in years gone by, although the hangings retreated behind doors in 1862. You can visit part of the original 18th century structure, including the condemned cell and some grisly exhibits chronicling the lives and imprisonment of the inmates of the Jail. 'Refreshed' by this visit you can cycle away and enjoy the freedom of the next section of the route outside Bodmin through traffic-free Dunmere Wood, Park Wood and Helligan Wood, and on towards Camelford.
