Jamaica Inn

tourism

The eighteenth-century coaching inn on the old packhorse route across Bodmin Moor was immortalised by Daphne du Maurier's 1936 novel of the same name. The inn retains its atmospheric stone exterior and houses a museum dedicated to du Maurier and to the smugglers and wreckers of her story. Whether the ghosts she encountered here actually exist is, perhaps, best left unresolved.
