Bodmin Moor

Bodmin Moor is of one the last unspoilt areas in the South West of England and much of its prehistoric and medieval past remains untouched by the passing of the centuries.

The moor is popular with hikers and bird watchers providing stunning scenery and a range of wildlife. The dramatic granite tors which tower over the sweeping expanses of the open moorland have been inspiration for many writers, poets and sculptors.

It has generated folklore and legend, with fact and fiction at times blending into one another as tales were passed down over the generations. The moor is well known for its tales of the beast of Bodmin, mysterious large animals abound in Britain, with sightings as far apart as Kent and Scotland.
