We had a fantastic time today. The weather was cold, raining, misty and magical. We visited the Bodmin Moor and the weather was just perfect!This place is a world of granite tors and windswept open moors. We walked to the "Hurlers", three large pre-historic stone circles and burial chambers - built over 4000 years ago.
The "Cheesewring" is a natural occurring granite rock pile precariously on top of each - absolutely fascinating.
We then carried on up to the A30 which took us down through Bodmin Moor. We stopped at Dozmary Pool where legend has it Excalibur was returned to the Lady of the Lake. There we were entertained by a beautiful brown horse which made our visit so much more special.
Cold and tired we had to stop at the Jamaica Inn for a beer. It was exciting - being the scene for Daphne Du Maurier's famous book. I'm totally inspired to read the book now, I will source a copy from the local 2nd hand book shop in town.
