About Madderly Moor

The moorland around Bodmin rises and falls in that particular way that makes you realise why people settle near towns rather than on top of hills. Madderly Moor sprawls across the landscape with the kind of raw, windswept character that defines inland Cornwall - no beaches, no postcard-perfect harbours, just genuine moorland where you can actually think. The views across to Bodmin itself and the surrounding valleys are proper decent on a clear day, though getting up here means committing to a walk. This is one for people who actually like walking, not those hoping for a scenic stroll. Local walkers and photographers use it regularly because the light does something nice across the open ground, especially in late afternoon. The moor itself requires no admission fee and you can spend anything from an hour rambling about to half a day if you're methodical. Families with younger children might find it a bit relentless - there's not much to do once you're here except enjoy the space and views. Anyone staying at The Camping Field, Mena Farm, or Tremeer Farm nearby will find this a natural extension of their holiday rather than a separate detour. It's the kind of place that makes sense if you're already exploring the Bodmin area, less so if you're driving specifically to see it. Worth knowing about if moorland appeals to you, but don't rearrange your itinerary around it.
