Details of Bodmin Moor

Bodmin Moor, Cornwall

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. It is a granite moorland of outstanding beauty overlooked by the summits of Brown Willy (1377ft), Cornwall’s highest point, and Rough Tor. There are an abundance of Neolithic and Bronze Age remains scattered about the moor which are worth exploring. Dozmary Pool 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.
