Roughtor
 

A scenic moorland car park leads you either directly onto Roughtor Moor itself or into the woodland. A great place for a picnic in summer, or a place to shelter from the windswept moor during the winter. Archaeological features are all around the site and provide a stunning backdrop for a day of walking. The views from the tor itself are magnificent, looking across into the heart of Bodmin Moor.

How to get there:

Camelford is the nearest town or village.

From the A39 at Camelford follow the signs to Roughtor.
