Bodmin Moor

 
Bodmin Moor (6mi/10km northeast of Bodmin), an area of barren, craggy moorland crowned with granite tors, lies at the heart of the narrow Cornish peninsula. It is a fascinating landscape, offering excellent walking. The highest point is Brown Willy (1,375ft/420m), from which there are extensive views. The moor is dotted with standing stones and other monuments of various periods. The inn at Bolventor, a small village in the center of the Moor, achieved fame as the "Jamaica Inn" of Daphne du Maurier's (1907-89) novel of that name. Cornwall often features in her work.
