    A walk up Rough Tor

    Posted by ben1982 6 August 2007

    Rough Tor is a beautiful granite-boulder strewn hill on the northern edge of Bodmin Moor.

    On opening the gate on to the moor you cross a small stream and then start the gentle slope up the hill - past ancient stone hut circles and wild ponies - to the top where you can sometimes see the north and south coasts of Cornwall, as well as other craggy peaks, the odd coniferous forest and pools and reservoirs.

    If you have more time, you can continue across to Brown Willy - the highest hill in Cornwall - passing another stream and through an abandoned hamlet.

    Nearest town is Camelford:
