Bodmin Moor
About Bodmin Moor
Bodmin Moor is a granite moorland in north-eastern Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is 208 square kilometres (80 sq mi) in size, and the granite dates from the Permian period of geological history. It includes Brown Willy, the highest point in Cornwall, and Rough Tor, a slightly lower peak. Many of Cornwall's rivers have their sources here. It has been inhabited since at least the Neolithic era, when early farmers started clearing trees and farming the land. They left their megalithic monuments, hut circles and cairns, and the Bronze Age culture that followed left further cairns, and more stone circles and stone rows. By medieval and modern times, nearly all the forest was gone and livestock rearing predominated.

What's the best? I like Nether song. I think that's my favorite. I like Brown Willy, which is the highest point of, is it Dorset or Devon? Podman Moor, the highest point of Podman. There is a meteorological effect called the Brown-Willy effect. Oh, no. Yep, which is where banks of cloud hit, hill go high, and then it leads to rain. It leads to thin drizzle all across Podman Moor.
