Cornwall

Bodmin Moor lies in the north-east of the county of Cornwall, and is famous for the copper mines which brought wealth to the county with Minions and Caradon Hill once the centre of a great copper mining boom. The landscape includes granite tors and wooded valleys, home to many species of birds and other wildlife as well as historical and archaeological features such as the Iron Age hillfort of Berry Castle, Trethevy Quoit ? a tomb dating back to 4500 BC; and the villages of St. Neot and St. Cleer.
