Description
Taken just a few miles from where I was born up on the lovely Bodmin Moor so full of history, and a so called "Beast" thought to be some sort of large Cat.
Minions is a small upland village high up on Bodmin moor. Minions at 300 feet is the highest village in Cornwall. The name Minions comes from Minions Mound a Barrow at the west end of the village.
Minions was actually based on the three major activities of mining, quarrying and railways. And was built in between 1863 and 1880, which was later than other Cornish industrial centres. The origin of the village, being totally created on a virgin moorland site for industry, is comparatively rare in Cornwall.

great shot, is that a little blue sky I see? when I visited Bodmin it rained and rained and rained.....all week!
Excellent shot, they had this place on a british postage stamp a few years ago. I heard the tales about the 'beast'. I think someone (maybe on Renderosity) photoshopped a domestic black cat and enlarged it onto the landscape like a panther lol..
