Thankfully today, it’s a safe place to visit and they have an amazing pub, restaurant, and hotel!Įver since I was a child I have visited this pub and still remember when they had the parrot that would speak to you when you passed by. A dangerous place that the authorities wouldn’t dare venture.

There aren’t many pubs in Cornwall that have a history and reputation like the Jamaica Inn.Ĭenturies ago this was a hive of smugglers, bootleggers, and wreckers.
