Housed in one of only two existing Keeps, a landmark, Grade II building in the Town of Bodmin, constructed at the time of the Napoleonic threats.

Cornwall’s Regimental Museum is recognized as probably the finest Military Museum in the South West of England. ,The collection tells the story of the County Regiment from 1702 until the present date.

The displays cover the story of the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry, the volunteers and volunteer militia and the successor Regiment, The Light Infantry.

A fine collection of medals, weapons, uniforms, paintings and artefacts are clearly displayed and will appeal to all age groups, enhancing and bringing to life much of the country’s history covered in the National Curriculum. An extensive library and archive exists and willing volunteers will help you research family history.

The museum has the largest fragment of the Berlin Wall in the country. The display clearly depicts both the East and West sectors of the city of Berlin and guards from both sides.
