Bodmin Moor is Cornwall’s largest area of open moorland, a wild, granite strewn landscape scattered with tors, ancient stone circles and the kind of bleak beauty that inspired Daphne du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn.
Beyond the moor itself, the area offers some of the best walking and wildlife spotting in Cornwall, along with scattered villages, historic pubs, and the legend of the Beast of Bodmin Moor that still draws curious visitors.
