If you're visiting Cornwall, your trip wouldn't be complete without seeing Bodmin Moor. It's a fascinating and unspoilt landscape of ancient sites, mighty granite tors, boulders and vast swathes of grass, moor and heathland covering some 200 square km.

The moor has mostly remained untouched for centuries and still provides open grazing for copious numbers of ponies, sheep and cattle whose nibbling keeps the landscape free from scrub and bracken. As an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, holidays in Bodmin Moor are full of plentiful birds and wildlife – you may even see otters if you're lucky! River valleys carve through the landscape lined by woods and plant life. The moor's crystal clear rivers are liberally sprinkled with fish including good-size trout and the celebrated king of the river, the mighty salmon.

Bodmin Moor is very much 'Poldark' country, and your Bodmin Moor holiday wouldn't be complete without seeing the set of the hit period drama TV series. A large portion of the outdoor scenes were filmed on Bodmin Moor, including Poldark's farmhouse home of Nampara.

Saddle up on two wheels or don some sturdy shoes and head out for a bike ride or trek in this amazing landscape. Pack a rucksack of nibbles and tipples and explore the walk between the two well-known peaks, Rough Tor (400m) and Brown Willy (420m) for spectacular 360-degree views across much of Cornwall, from north to south coast. There are plenty of family walks to explore when on holiday in Bodmin Moor, such as Cardinham Woods, around the various lakes and riverbanks.

Seeing the moor on horseback is another option, with local stables offering treks for all abilities from an hours' walk to a pub trek stopping at one of Bodmin Moor’s historic pubs, cafes and inns. The 300-year-old Jamaica Inn, made famous by Daphne du Maurier's bestselling book, is in the centre of the moor. The inn serves good food, real ales and plays host to its heritage with a souvenir shop and museum depicting tales of pirates and smuggling through the ages. Opposite Jamaica Inn is Dozmary Pool where legend has it, King Arthur's Lady of the Lake handed him the sword Excalibur.

Crowdy Reservoir is a super spot for birdwatching and fishing. It's just a twenty-minute walk around the lake, so a nice pitstop for a home-made lunch bought from one of the many farm shops. Colliford Lake is the largest in Cornwall covering some 900 acres offering lovely walks around its perimeter. For fishing holidays in Bodmin Moor, it's a well-known spot for anglers looking for some rod action as it's one of Cornwall's largest trout fisheries. For non-fishing folk, there are bountiful picnic areas to settle down with a book and relax. Another lake worth visiting for trout fishing is Siblyback Lake Country Park which also hosts a posse of activities for all ages. There's a great little café, cycle and walking routes and youngsters are happily occupied in the large play area.

Golitha Falls are a must see when you holiday in Bodmin Moor, for the collection of exciting cascades and waterfalls spanning a 90 metre descent of the River Fowey. Visit in late spring for walks through violet-blue carpets of bluebells under a canopy of ancient oaks trees, hazel coppices and fallen trunks cloaked in moss. In summer, butterflies flutter and woodland flowers thrive.

When the sun sets, there's action up above from bats swooping through the trees, but the best part of night-time when on holiday in Bodmin Moor is its location for stargazing. Take a camp chair, wrap up warm with a flask of something hot to drink and stare into the inky black sky to spot sparkly constellations.

Oh, and keep an eye out for the infamous 'Beast of Bodmin', somewhat folklore, somewhat mystery, people claim to have seen it, but its existence hasn't been confirmed…yet.

Designated parking space on the road to the front and a paved pathway leads up to the cabin.

St Breock Downs Monolith
(4 miles)

(1)

An English Heritage site, St Breock Downs Monolith is a massive stone that stands near the summit of the St Breock Downs, offering beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and across to the sea.  It is the largest and heaviest monolith in Cornwall, and dates back to the late Neolithic/mid-Bronze Age (around 2500–1500 BC).   You can visit any time in reasonable daylight hours and it’s free of charge, however there aren’t any facilities or coffee shops when you’re there, so it’s not one to stay at all day.

Camel Trail
Camel Trail
(5 miles)

(2)

Perfect for cycling, the Camel Trail is an 18-mile largely traffic free, surfaced and virtually level, multi-use trail that you can use to explore the Cornish countryside. The track brings back to life a disused railway line that runs between Wenfordbridge, Bodmin and Padstow. It's ideal for bicycles, wheelchair users, horse riders and walkers, and is broken down into three main sections set up to around six miles each, which is probably more manageable than the total 18 miles, on an average day at least! It's free to use, bike hire is available at Padstow, Wadebridge, Bodmin and Wendfordbridge and toilets are in situ along the trail and in Padstow town centre.

Flat 6 miles walk from Wadebridge to Padstow (or Padstein as we called it!). Plenty to look at but no facilities, there was a closed cafe 2 miles short of Padstow. Lots of cyclists so listen out for them.

Great cycle trail for the whole family.

Rock Beach

This Area of Outstanding natural beauty is a haven for wading birds and the prefect spot for a swim in the clear blue waters or a picnic admiring the fantastic views. The beach is backed by sand dunes, please try to avoid walking on the dunes and keep to the footpaths where provided as there has been a huge amount of erosion in recent years. Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round and there is easy access to shops and all facilities including public toilets. Parking can be found in the car park just behind and access is via a ferry slipway or steps.

Let's tackle the two downsides first. The narrow single track lane descending to the car park ican be challenging at busy times. The other one - the sheltered position means no waves for boarding. Great sandy beach, safe for kids with a good size car park and easy access down to the sands. Great views over the Doom Bar. Easy to walk down to Rock Beach and St Enodoc's church is worth a visit.
