Situation
St Leonards is part of the main route through rapidly expanding Bodmin, the former County town of Cornwall. It is one of Cornwall’s oldest towns where the architecture of many of the buildings demonstrates the town’s past importance, especially during the 19th Century when it was the administrative centre of the County. The town is rapidly growing, recognised as it has been for centuries, for its central location within the region. A huge range of shopping, schooling, health and leisure amenities will cater for most daily requirements, whilst the main A30 skims the eastern fringe of the town, meaning traveling within and around the Duchy could not be easier. The iconic Bodmin Moor extends to the north, whilst the Camel Trail, a wonderful cycle trial extending all the way to the historic port of Padstow on the Camel Estuary is nearby.
