Bodmin Moor

A wild, windswept and awe-inspiring granite moorland overlooked by the summits of Brown Willy (1377ft), Cornwall's highest point, and Roughtor (best approached from Camelford). First farmed over 4,000 years ago by bronze age settlers, Bodmin Moor is of one the last great unspoilt areas in the South West and much of its prehistoric and medieval past remains untouched by the passing of the centuries.

Their is an abundance of Neolithic and Bronze Age remains, including the stone circles that make up the Hurlers at Minions. Dozmary Pool on the moor is, according to legend, where the Lady of the Lake received King Arthur’s sword Excalibur and nearby is Daphne du Maurier’s famous Jamaica Inn.
