Since the Bronze age, Bodmin Moor has remained one of the great unspoilt areas of the South West, and still attracts thousands of visitors – from hikers and poets, to photographers and artists.  Dominated by granite tors, and littered with standing stones, burial chambers, Cornish hedges, bridges, cottages and farms the moor is an ideal place to explore.

The Cheesewring at Minions is an easy and delightful walk but do keep an eye on the weather since it can change astonishingly quickly.  Do not stray from the path.

The railway links Launceston with the hamlet of Newmills. The line runs for 2.5 miles through the glorious Kensey Valley along the trackbed of the old North Cornwall Railway.

Carnglaze consists of three underground caverns set in 6.5 acres of wooded hillside of the Loveny Valley at St Neot near Liskeard.  Within the caverns is the famous subterranean lake with its crystal clear blue/green water.  During the Second World War the Royal Navy used the first cavern, known as the Rum Store, to store its supply of rum.  This is now an auditorium where a variety of concerts take place.
