What Merchandise And Tours Celebrate Jamaica Inn Today?

Out on the moor I once did one of those half-impulsive stops at 'Jamaica Inn' and ended up buying a ridiculous number of keepsakes — a tote bag, a coaster set, and a battered paperback — so I can give a pretty down-to-earth picture of what’s available now. The on-site shop is the obvious place: branded clothing, mugs, postcards, keyrings and novelty coins, plus local artisan goodies like honey, jams and Cornish biscuits. If you love books, the shop and nearby bookshops typically stock various editions of 'Jamaica Inn' and related du Maurier titles, sometimes with illustrated covers or reprints for collectors.

Tours range from short guided museum tours inside the inn to longer guided walks on Bodmin Moor. There are evening ghost tours that lean into the spooky reputation (complete with storytelling and atmospheric lighting), smuggling-history walks that trace old routes and tell real-life tales, and sometimes organized events — re-enactments or themed evenings — that make the whole thing theatrical. If you prefer pre-booking, there are local tour operators and bus tours that include the inn on wider Cornwall itineraries, and a few operators run bespoke literary tours linking other du Maurier spots. For a sweeter, slower visit I’d recommend a daytime walk, a museum stop, and ending with a pie in the inn’s bar; that combo felt perfect to me.

I’ve been that person who collects weird, specific souvenirs, so my take is more about the oddball stuff and the tours that give context. At the counter I’ve found enamel pins, keyrings shaped like smugglers’ boats, canvas tote bags, and even small-scale models of the inn. There are also tea blends, fudge, and local preserves in branded baskets — the sort of hamper you can order from their website if you want a Cornwall-themed gift delivered. Sellers on Etsy and eBay sometimes list vintage postcards and old hotel menus from the inn, which is fun if you like retro ephemera.

Tours are the real draw for me: daytime guided moor walks focused on landscape and smuggling history, and after-dark ghost or storytelling tours that play up the eerie atmosphere. Occasionally the inn hosts literary evenings that dive into 'Jamaica Inn' and du Maurier’s life, or film nights showing the Hitchcock version and talking through its legacy. For a cozy, slightly spooky weekend, combine a ghost tour, a museum visit, and a long walk on the moor — the souvenirs almost feel secondary to the story you’ve just walked through.

Driving across Bodmin Moor last autumn, the jagged skyline and wind made the whole place feel like a set piece from a novel — which, of course, it is. The real 'Jamaica Inn' on the A30 leans into that atmosphere, and the range of merchandise and tours reflects both its literary fame and smuggling history. In the gift shop and online you’ll find classic items like illustrated guides to the inn and the moor, editions of Daphne du Maurier’s 'Jamaica Inn', postcards, enamel pins, mugs, hoodies, and posters featuring moorland art. There are also more niche pieces: reproductions of old maps, prints of the inn, smuggling-themed trinkets (replica spyglasses, faux pirate coins), and locally made food gifts — tins of tea, ales, and preserves that nod to Cornwall’s culinary scene.

On the tours side, there’s a good mix. The inn runs its own museum in the coach house and hosts guided storytelling sessions that blend the novel’s drama with real smuggling lore. They also put on evening ghost tours and paranormal evenings for people who want the spooky angle, and daytime walking tours across Bodmin Moor focused on smuggling routes, historic milestones, and atmospheric viewpoints. Beyond the inn itself, local operators offer broader literary trails and coach tours that link 'Jamaica Inn' with Daphne du Maurier-related sites, Bodmin Jail, and other Cornish highlights; some even include night-time moor walks or combined stops for food and history.

If you’re the kind of person who loves a tangible memory, hunt for special editions of 'Jamaica Inn' and vintage prints in nearby secondhand shops and independent bookstores — they surface more often than you’d expect. For an immersive day, I’d pair a museum visit with a moor walk and a hot drink back in the bar; nothing beats sipping something warm while the wind rattles the panes, honestly.

I like collecting little pieces of places, so 'Jamaica Inn' merch always catches my eye: enamel pins, rustic prints, tees, novelty coins, and reprints of Daphne du Maurier’s 'Jamaica Inn'. You can buy many things in the inn’s own shop or through their website, while Etsy and independent sellers offer fan art, illustrations, and vintage-style posters if you want something less mainstream.

For experiences, the options are straightforward — museum visits in the coach house, guided smuggling-history walks over Bodmin Moor, and the ever-popular ghost or paranormal evenings that the inn sometimes schedules. Nearby museums and local guides also run combined tours (history plus food or literature), and I’ve seen seasonal events and storyteller nights that lean into the novel’s drama. Personally, I find the best souvenirs are a small print and a handwritten guide leaflet from the tour; they sit on my shelf and bring back the wind and chill of the moor every time I glance at them.

If you wander out across Bodmin Moor on a gray, blustery day and push open the heavy door of 'Jamaica Inn', you quickly see how the place lives as both a real coaching inn and a museum of romanticized smuggling history. When I toured there I found a proper gift shop tucked into the old stone, packed with the usual lovely tourist staples: enamel mugs, postcards with brooding moor photos, hoodies and tees stamped with the inn's name, and tasteful prints of the building itself. They also sell different editions of Daphne du Maurier’s 'Jamaica Inn' alongside film tie-ins — it's common to spot copies of the original novel and biographies or local history books about smuggling and Bodmin Moor.

Beyond souvenirs the inn leans into experience. There’s a small museum area with smuggling artefacts and interpretive panels that set the scene, and staff run guided walks on the moor that follow rough smuggler routes and point out the landscape that inspired the story. In the evenings you can join themed nights: ghost tours, smuggling talks, and occasional screenings or discussions about the Hitchcock film 'Jamaica Inn' and the later BBC adaptation. Locally made food hampers, jams, and sometimes branded spirits or ales show up in the shop, too — perfect if you want a tangible piece of Cornwall to take home. I always pick up a postcard and a battered copy of 'Jamaica Inn' to reread by the fire; it feels like bringing a little of the moor with me.

I tend to buy things that remind me of being somewhere, so for 'Jamaica Inn' I usually grab practical keepsakes: a heavy enamel mug, a woolly scarf from the shop, and the paperback of 'Jamaica Inn' to reread with a pot of tea. There’s a modest museum inside with smuggling displays and curated panels that give context to the tours, and the staff are happy to point you toward local guided walks across Bodmin Moor which follow old shipment routes and hidden coves. Online, the inn offers gift vouchers and occasional themed hampers with local food and branded goodies; outside of the official shop you can hunt down vintage posters or secondhand editions of the novel on auction sites. Honestly, the best souvenir for me is the memory of the moor at dusk and the creak of the inn’s floorboards — that’s the thing I always want to bottle up when I leave.
