Bodmin
Bodmin is a civil parish and major town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is positioned south-west of Bodmin Moor. The size of the civil parish corresponds relatively closely to that town so is mostly urban in character. It's bordered to the east by Cardinham parish, towards the southeast by Lanhydrock parish, to the southwest and west by Lanivet parish, and to the north by Helland parish. At the time of the 2001 Census, Bodmin had a population of 13,000 individuals. This population had increased to 14,916 by the 2011 Census. The town used to be the county town of Cornwall until the Crown Courts relocated to Truro, which is also the administrative centre. Bodmin was in the administrative North Cornwall District until local government reorganisation in 2009 removed the District. The town is part of the North Cornwall parliamentary constituency. Bodmin Town Council is comprised of sixteen councillors who each serve a term of 4 years. Each year, the Council elects one of its number as Mayor to serve as the town's civic leader and to run council meetings. Bodmin Beacon Local Nature Reserve is the hill which overlooks the town. The reserve has 83 acres (33.6 hectares) of public land and reaches a total of 162 metres at its highest point, with a famous landmark at the highest point. The 44-metre tall monument to Sir Walter Raleigh Gilbert was erected in 1857 by the townspeople of Bodmin to honour the soldier's life and work in India.
