Rugged, wild and breathtakingly beautiful, yet steeped in myth, legend and history, a holiday on Bodmin Moor is truly unique.

An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covering nearly 200 square metres, Bodmin Moor is a vast expanse of grass upland covered in impressive granite tors, thick blankets of heather, river sources and windswept moorland ponies.

Holidays on Bodmin Moor are all about the great outdoors. It’s designated as open access land, meaning you can walk, cycle and climb until your heart’s content. Hike up Rough Tor and on to Brown Willy, the highest point in Cornwall, stroll along the beautiful banks of Golitha Falls, cycle along the start of the famous Camel Trail or get your heart racing on the mountain-biking tracks in Cardinham Woods. Keen ramblers, cyclists, dog owners and families alike will love exploring this spectacular landscape.

Bodmin Moor is steeped in history. As you walk along its rugged open spaces you’ll find Neolithic and Bronze Age remains, cairns and hut circles, medieval clapper bridges and old mines and quarries. There’s striking stones, like the Cheesewring, a towering stack of wind-eroded circular granite rocks, the Hurlers stone circle and the Stripple stones.

Many choose a holiday on Bodmin Moor because of its fascinating myths and legends. Visit Dozmary Pool, where it’s believed King Arthur’s sword Excalibur still lurks, search for the mysterious Beast of Bodmin Moor and stop by at the ghostly (yet cosy and friendly) Jamaica Inn, inspiration for Daphne du Maurier’s novel by the same name. Keep an eye out for shooting stars too; Bodmin Moor has been awarded Dark Sky Landscape status so it’s a great place to gaze at those constellations.

But one of the best things about holidays on Bodmin Moor is that, despite its sense of wilderness, it’s really easy to reach both Cornwall’s rugged surfing beaches of the north Atalantic coast and the more sheltered sands of the south. The A30 road runs right through the middle of Bodmin Moor, so it’s a really accessible holiday spot

A family-run business, this underground experience is open all year round for self-guided tours.  Set in Quarry Wood, the 6.5-acre site encompassing ancient woodland and beautiful walks, is also home to three caverns and a spectacularly beautiful underground lake, hand created by slate miners.  There’s a The Terrace Garden and Enchanted Dell for children, The Rum Store for underground concerts and events, and it’s licensed for weddings and civil partnerships.  When you visit, remember The Caverns are at a constant 10°C, so jumpers are a good idea and flip flops are recommended.

We visited on a wet day in February. Truly enjoyed both the caverns and the woodland walk. Loved the little signs on the walk.

February 2022

Have visited this attraction in the past and wished to revisit. Unfortunately we were unable to to book on the same day as visit which prevented us from going, although at this time of year(late September) I doubt it was busy.

September 2021

Totally blown away. The ladies where so knowledgeable and very helpful. A marvellous place to visit x

July 2021

A great visit, staff very approachable and knowledgeable about the history and working of the mine. Woodland walks were an added adventure with fairies and dragons to spot on the way round and keep the kids interested.

August 2020

Easy parking with available toilets. Not too sure about disabled access,though,ok if you can actually walk but not too good if in a wheelchair from what i see. It is an interesting place though. Flash photography is not allowed as there are bats in the caves. The inside is actually quite pleasant and can be wet. Outside there are a a couple of interesting walks,mostly uphill,so be prepared. Its an interesting attraction that will be a couple of hours at least.

September 2019

We all enjoyed our visit here on a rainy day. It was good to see this mine.
