By
Probably Cornwall’s most famous smugglers Inn on Bodmin Moor. Set in the middle of the moors it is located just off of the A30, close to the hamlet of Bolventor.
The current building was built in 1750 and extended in 1778 with a coach house, stables and a tack room. Stage coaches would use the Inn to change horses over and passengers rested.
The remoteness of the building as it would have been in the days of smugglers made it a perfect spot to hide their stash of rum that had been smuggled into the country from Jamaica.
