Bodmin Moor is Cornwall's wild heart, an area of open moorland, granite tors and ancient monuments that forms part of the Cornwall National Landscape. Self-catering holiday cottages on and around the moor offer peace, starry night skies and some of the best walking in the county, with Brown Willy – Cornwall's highest point – and Rough Tor waiting to be climbed.
Visitors come to see Jamaica Inn, Dozmary Pool, the Hurlers stone circles at Minions and Golitha Falls, and the reservoirs at Siblyback and Colliford are popular for watersports and fishing. Because the moor sits in the middle of Cornwall, both coasts are within easy reach, and you book direct with the owners listed here.
