About

Bodmin St Mary's & St Leonard ward encompasses the historic core of the town, situated on the southern slopes above the River Camel. The area is defined by its parish church, narrow streets, and residential terraces that radiate from the central Fore Street. Land use is primarily a mix of local retail, services, and housing, with the expansive Bodmin Beacon Local Nature Reserve providing wooded hillside walks on its eastern edge.

The ward's identity is closely tied to St. Mary's Church, a substantial 15th-century building constructed from granite. The town's former importance is reflected in the substantial Victorian and Edwardian institutional architecture, including the former barracks and asylum. A less visible feature is the subterranean Bodmin Jail, a former prison built into the hillside, which has become a significant local attraction.
