General presentation
Bodmin Moor
Granitic lands, tors, forested valleys, Arthurian legends and historic sites in the heart of Cornwall.
To understand what Bodmin Moor is, look at Brown Willy, Golitha Falls and Dozmary Pool. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by the countryside, natural spaces and heritage and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very changing weather and sometimes wet paths. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Summit
Brown Willy
Brown Willy attracts walkers to the highest point of Cornwall, in a landscape of bare moors, peatlands and granite. Interest is less high than the isolation of the Bodmin Moor, with a weather that can quickly transform the atmosphere.
Cascade
Golitha Falls
Golitha Falls follows the river Fowey in a damp wood where the water runs between rocks, mosses and dark trunks. The walk remains accessible, but it gains a lot after the rains, when the noise of the water gives the place all its presence.
Area
Lanhydrock
Lanhydrock combines large Victorian house, gardens and wooded estate at the gates of the Bodmin Moor. Service rooms, lounges and traffics tell the story of domestic life as well as prestige, which makes the visit more concrete than just a castle journey.
Lake
Dozmary Pool
Dozmary Pool lies in the heart of an open and stripped landscape of Bodmin Moor, associated with arthurian legends and moor's tales. It's a silent stopover rather than a great show, interesting to feel the harsh and almost naked atmosphere of the plateau.
