The dramatic views and vast landscapes of Bodmin Moor have been a favourite of ours since we landed in Cornwall. Just a stone’s throw from Glynn Barton, there’s so much outdoor fun to be found on the moor. Here’s how we’d while away our holiday days on Bodmin:
- Discover a little Cornish History
Visit Jamaica Inn, famous for its smuggler tales, or explore ancient sites like the Hurlers Stone Circles and Rough Tor, one of Cornwall’s highest points. - Hike the Trails
From easy strolls to challenging hikes, there’s a path for every family member. Try the walk up to Brown Willy, Cornwall’s highest hill, for incredible views. - Wildlife Spotting
Look out for wild ponies, buzzards, and other wildlife as you wander through the moor’s rugged landscape. - Picnic with a View
Pack a lunch and enjoy breathtaking views from one of the many scenic spots, such as Colliford Lake or Dozmary Pool, steeped in Arthurian legend. - Stargazing
With minimal light pollution, Bodmin Moor is perfect for an evening of stargazing. It’s a designated Dark Sky Landscape, so bring a blanket and some hot chocolate and watch the stars fill the night sky.
Discover the magic of Bodmin Moor and make it a highlight of your holiday, we’ll see you up there!
