 Views over wild and windswept Cornish moorland are assured at Roughtor, on the edge of Bodmin Moor. You can also sometimes catch a glimpse of woodland wildlife too.
Mammals: You may see signs of both badger and otter if you look carefully. The secretive roe deer and larger red deer are often seen at Roughtor early in the morning or during late evening. The red deer will move up out of the valleys as Spring approaches. We have information about Red deer, Roe deer, Badger and Otter
Birds: The woodlark and nightjar have been spotted here in the past, as have wheatears and redstarts. Buzzards are often seen soaring in the skies above and there is even the possibility of seeing a rarity on migration if you have the patience to sit and wait. We have information about Nightjar and Woodlark

From the A39 at Camelford follow the signs to Roughtor.
