Bodmin Moor

About this park

Bodmin Moor, a vast expanse of granite moorland in Cornwall, offers an incredible landscape for dog walking. While there are no specific 'park' rules, dogs are generally welcome to roam off-lead across much of the open moorland, though owners should always exercise caution and control, particularly around livestock which graze freely. The terrain is rugged and varied, with undulating hills, rocky outcrops, and wetlands, providing a truly wild and natural environment for adventurous canines and their human companions. Walks on Bodmin Moor can range from gentle strolls across more accessible areas to challenging hikes up peaks like Brown Willy and Roughtor, offering breathtaking panoramic views. The beauty of the moor lies in its untamed nature, with ancient stone circles, standing stones, and former mining remains adding historical interest to your walk. Be aware that conditions can change rapidly, and the ground can be boggy in places, so appropriate footwear is essential for both you and your dog. Facilities on the moor itself are minimal, with nature providing the main attractions. However, nearby villages and particularly the iconic Jamaica Inn (PL15 7TS) offer parking, public toilets, and dog-friendly refreshments. There are no designated bins or water points on the open moor, so remember to bring your own water and waste bags and take everything home with you to preserve this special landscape.
