Review:

Bodmin Moor is a gorgeous granite moorland in northeastern Cornwall, measuring 80 square miles in size and dating back to the Carboniferous period. The moor is home to Cornwall's highest point, Brown Willy, along with the noted peak Rough Tor. Today, it is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, grazed by moorland ponies and known as a popular mining spot throughout the 19th century. It only gained its current name in the 19th century, having been formerly known as Fowey Moor until approximately 1812. It serves as the main source for many of Cornwall's rivers and still showcases gorgeous megalithic monuments from the Neolithic period and Bronze Age.
