Visorando Member

Codda to Brown Willy, Bodmin moors

Departure from Altarnun (Cornwall)

This route takes the Southerly route to the Brown Willy Tor, you will be entering open moorland. An alternative route to the highest Tor in Cornwall UK. Not so much a circular walk but more like a there-and-back walk, although variations and or additions to the plotted route can be made, subject to competence in remote walking. Shortly after the first waypoint, the route doesn't follow paths on the map. It is strongly recommended that you follow the route using the GPX on the Visorando app.

Short wildlife near Quethiock

Visorando Member

Departure from Quethiock (Cornwall)

This wonderful short walk takes you down along a stream and up through the woods to Venn Farm. It is so peaceful. There's a little waterfall and a pond. We saw geese, newts and dragonflies, and in the woods we saw woodpeckers, and roe deer. Magical. It is a little overgrown in places and there is quite a steep climb as you leave the woods.

Rough Tor, Brown Willy, and King Arthur's Hall

Visorando Member

Departure from Advent (Cornwall)

Myth or legend, King Arthur, has many deep-seated roots here in Cornwall, from nearby Tintagel Castle, Excalibur's Sword in Dozmary Pool. King Arthur's Hall, high up on Bodmin Moor, adds more to the legend of the King. The route pays homage to the Wessex memorial, climbs the highest point in Cornwall, and then onto King Arthur's Hall, a neolithic enclosure; however, recent research has suggested that the whole area could be hundreds of years earlier.
