Sprey Moor- Bodmin Cornwall
 |
Bodmin Moor is unspoilt moorland at its best and it is the largest area of semi natural habitat in Cornwall. The views from its huge granite tors are fantastic and look out over the moorland, bogs, wooded valleys and isolated farms. The moors are extremly rugged and is well documented for its ledgends and myth. |
BODMIN MOOR : First farmed over 4000 years ago by bronze age settlers Bodmin Moor is of one the last great unspoilt areas in the South West and much of its prehistoric and medieval past remains untouched by the passing of the centuries. The Moor is dominated by dramatic granite tors which tower over the sweeping expanses of open moorland. Marshes and bogs on the high moor drain into shallow moorland valleys before the rivers cross onto softer shales around the Moor and carve themselves deep river valleys, providing shelter for rich, damp oak woodland. Historically, Bodmin Moor was a landscape which engendered fear and awe, but which has also provided inspiration for writers, poets and sculptors. It has generated folklore and legend, with fact and fiction at times blending into one another as tales were passed down over the generations.
