Welcome to the world famous Jamaica Inn, Cornwall & most famous smugglers inn. Immortalised in Daphne du Maurier's eponymous tale of smugglers, rogues and pirates, this historic coaching house has welcomed travellers crossing Bodmin Moor for nearly 300 years. Full of legend, mystery, romance and even, according to folklore, the odd friendly spirit, Jamaica Inn is set in one of the most evocative moorland locations in Britain. The Inn is more than just a stop-off for weary travellers, it an ideal base for visiting anywhere in Cornwall or Devon .

What a dramatic photo with the threatening clouds! Love the bit of red! And a very interesting history, as well.

Good travel info and an even a better shot, Roger. While the antique architecture is gorgeous, I like how the red British telephone booth stands out in your photo. Old times meet the electronic age. Bravo!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
