Bodmin

The town of Bodmin gives its name to the great moor that abounds in prehistoric monuments. It was at the heart of the county during the middle ages and has the largest old church in Cornwall, set up on the site where St Guron lived as a hermit 1400 years ago. Another saint reputed to have lived here was St Feock.

The finest monument in Bodmin is the 16th century tomb of Prior Vyvyan of Bodmin. A story related of the Mayor of Bodmin at the time of Vyvyan tells how he gave a meal to Sir Anthony Kingston, sent to punish the rebels in 1549. Asked if he thought the gallows strong enough, the Mayor replied that it was; 'Well, then, get you up' Sir Anthony told him.

The town is a treasure trove of antiquities.

The Moor and the Cheesewring

Bodmin Moor is covered in prehistoric barrows and stone hut circles, reaching its highest point n Brown Willy at 1375 feet.

The largest stone circle consists of the Hurlers, men turned to stone for playing the Cornish game of hurling on the Sabbath. Nearby is the dramatic stack of stones known as the Cheesewring, which William Borlase believed was built by the Druids, but has been created by miners stacking stones and natural erosion.
