Bodmin Moor Totally Explained

Everything about Bodmin Moor totally explained

Bodmin Moor (Cornish: Goen Bren) is a granite moorland in northeastern Cornwall, UK, 208 km² (80 sq mile) in size, dating from the Carboniferous period of geological history.
   The name "Bodmin Moor" is relatively recent, being an Ordnance Survey invention of 1813. It was formerly known as "Fowey Moor", after the river which rises here. The Cornish name, Goen Bren is probably even older.
   Dramatic granite tors rise from the rolling moorland. During the Bronze Age, Bodmin Moor was densely populated and now many prehistoric stone barrows and circles lie scattered across the moor. Today it's thinly populated aside from the small village of Bolventor. On the southern slopes of the moor lies Dozmary Pool, where, according to Arthurian legend, Sir Bedivere threw Excalibur to The Lady of the Lake.
   Bodmin Moor has been officially designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), as part of Cornwall AONB.
   The highest point is Brown Willy at 420 m (1378 ft), also the highest point in Cornwall.
   Wetland sites on the moor include Colliford Lake, a large reservoir, and Dozmary Pool.
