The
Old Barn
On the side of a picturesque valley,
within an area of outstanding natural
beauty, we have, probably, one of
the finest view points of Bodmin moor
in Cornwall UK. As well as the views
of Cornwall's dramatic landscape,
the downs contain a multitude of scheduled
ancient monuments, ranging from hut
circles to abandoned field systems
and settlements, some of which can
clearly be seen by the observant.
The valley is designated as a site
of special scientific interest because
of its wide range of plant and animal
life. In particular its variety of
sedges, grasses, rushes and wildflowers
which support many dragonflies, damselflies,
butterflies and other insects which
in turn support birds such as Curlew,
Snipe, Grey Plover, Buzzards, Warblers
and Pipits. The cottages are on a
working moorland hill farm, it is
an ideal place for walks, or simply
enjoying this peaceful environme
