History
The moor’s stone circles, quoits and monoliths date from Neolithic to Bronze Age use; Iron Age hillforts later leveraged the high ground for visibility and defence.
Conservation
Bodmin Moor’s peat soils and heather habitats are sensitive—stay on marked paths, avoid trampling fragile vegetation and follow local guidance on grazing and land access.

Wear sturdy footwear
Moorland paths are uneven and can be boggy—boots with ankle support and good tread reduce slip and sprain risk.
Pack waterproof layers
Wind-driven rain can arrive quickly on exposed tors; a lightweight waterproof shell is essential year-round.
Mind field boundaries
Stone walls and grazing livestock are common—close gates and follow local footpaths to avoid farmland disturbance.
Timing for photos
Visit early morning or late afternoon for low-angle light that highlights stone textures and long shadows.
