Description
This Moor which forms the outskirts of the Town where I was born. First settled 4000 years ago in the Bronze age. The landscape which engendered fear and awe, but which has also provided inspiration for writers, poets and sculptors.
Bodmin Moor is of one the last great unspoilt areas in the South West and much of its prehistoric and medieval past remains untouched by the passing of the centuries.
It has generated folklore and legend, like the tales of the so called beast of the moor, an assumed black Panther that had escaped a Circus! Fed by sighting of half eaten animals! So the lore continue, with fact and fiction at times blending into one another as tales were passed down over the generations.
