Take the opportunity of staying in this area to explore Bodmin Moor - a bleak wilderness quite unlike the traditional expectation of landscape in the West Country. The moor has many stone circles and standing stones, of which The Hurlers and The Cheesewring are two of the best known. If you start at Minions, the highest village in Cornwall, just outside Liskeard, The Hurlers, just a short distance, are 3 Bronze Age stone circles dating back to around 1500 BC. The Cheesewring is so called because of its shape and is an amazing rock formation created by glaciation and weathering over thousands of years approximately a mile across the moor. A climb to the top provides a breathtaking view into Devon in one direction and far into Cornwall in the other. As a reward, why not have a cream tea back in The Hurlers Halt in Minions, known as the highest cafe in Cornwall?

	Beautiful views.
Jul 2008	As well as spectacular views on a clear day the Hurlers cast a magical spell on those visiting them. The Cheesewring is well worth the walk and again a spectacular structure of granite.
