Bodmin’s historic Keep is over 160 years old and was Cornwall’s regimental headquarters. These days it’s a museum telling the story of 300 years of the military in Cornwall: from badges, weapons, regimental colours to artefacts from battle. Visit us to find out about the lives of ordinary soldiers in extraordinary times.
