Day 18 - Beer & Ale In Bodmin Jail! - on Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

After a long and enjoyable day of adventuring, we returned to Bodmin tired as heck and hungry as can be.  We found a good restaurant in the old Bodmin Jail.  Pam enjoyed some great Salmon while I enjoyed a Beef & Ale Pie.  Wine for Pam, real Ale for me!  

Bodmin Jail was built in 1779 and was active as a jail until it closed in 1927.  It was built by POW's.  During its service as a jail, 50 public hangings occurred there.  During WWI, the prison was used to secure priceless artifacts including the Domesday Book and the Crown Jewels.

If you are in to ghost stories, there is a ghost-walk available just for you!
