walking

There are delightful local walks in the immediate area, around Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, and at the coast.
For my walk guides and walking information click the walking link at the top of the page.
Golitha Falls Nature Reserve > in the Draynes Valley beyond Minions on Bodmin Moor.
A National Nature Reserve provides a level walk by the River Fowey through beautiful oak woods; the path becoming more difficult as you approach the falls.

Lydford Gorge > on the edge of Dartmoor
The gorge is 1½ miles long, to the White Lady waterfall and cascades. A choice of short walks or the complete circuit, which is more arduous.
This is between Tavistock and Okehampton, so a little further away.

Dartmoor >
Dartmoor National Park has wonderful walks in stunning landscapes.
Hound Tor has the remains of three or four medieval farmsteads; the village
was first occupied during the Bronze Age and abandoned in the Middle Ages.
