Attractions</b><br>
Ideally located for exploring Bodmin Moor and the North & South coasts of
Cornwall<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Trethevy Farm is situated
on the edge of Bodmin Moor close to many fascinating Stone Age archaeological
sites and to many deserted relics of the 19th century tin and copper mining
industry.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Trethevy Quoit</b> (illustrated
above at sunset), one of the most impressive Neolithic burial chambers in Cornwall,
is just a short stroll from the farm. It is a truly awesome sight standing over
10 feet in height with a capstone of 12 feet in length. An usual feature is
the small hole pieced in the capstone, the purpose of which is unknown. A rectangular
hole cut into the entrance stone gives access to the burial chamber which is
surrounded by six massive uprights. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">From the nearby Crows Nest
pub, a footpath runs along an old mining railway line past the <b>South Caradon
Min</b>e, featured in the BBC's "Restoration" programme and once the
richest copper mine in East Cornwall. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">It is advisable not to stray
from the path as the mine structures are not safe and there are hidden dangers
in the mines. The footpath leads on to the village of Minions where you will
find the <b>Minions Mining Heritage Centre</b> in a partially restored engine
house (shown above). </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Minions is also famous for
<b>The Hurlers</b>, three circles of standing stones which bear tribute to the
stone maneuvering abilities of Bronze Age man as there are 9, 17 and 16 stones
respectively in each circle plus 2 boundary stones called the Pipers to the
west of the site. Legend says that the stones are men turned to stone as a punishment
for playing the Cornish game of hurling on the Sabbath Day. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>The Cheesewring</b>,
a granite rock formation caused by natural erosion, is also a spectacular landmark
near Minions. Legend attributes its existence to a titanic rock throwing contest
between Cornwall's Giants and Saints which was lost by the Giants who, as a
consequence, had to abandon their sinful ways. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Just above the Cheesewring
Quarry, lies <b>Stowe's Pound</b>, a massive stone hilltop enclosure with a
central 'citadel' and remains of stone hut circles dating back to late Neolithic,
early Bronze Age.<br>
<br>
<b>King Doniert's Stone</b> - two granite stones with intricate carving and
rectangular sockets in their tops which are thought to have held wooden crosses
- can be found in a signposted enclosure on the B3254 road from Minions to Dobwalls.
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The shorter stone
bears the inscription "Doniert Progavit Pro Anima" or Doniert ordered
this cross for the good of his soul. It is thought that Doniert was probably
Durngarth, King of Cornwall who drowned in the River Fowey in AD875.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The River Fowey runs through
a steep sided gorge amid ancient beech and oak woodland at the famous beauty
spot, Golitha Falls, which is also a National Nature Reserve and has wonderful
walks. <b>Golitha Falls</b> is a short drive from Trethevy Farm.<br>
<br>
Other local attractions include: </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The picturesque fishing
villages and sandy beaches of <b>Looe</b> and <b>Polperro</b> <br>
<b>Fowey</b> (home of Daphne du Maurier) <br>
<b>Jamaica Inn</b>, the legendary smugglers' coaching inn <br>
<b>Tintagel Castle</b> - a dramatic setting of romance and legend <br>
