Badgers Sett is in a central location within easy reach of both the A38 and A30 trunk roads making it a good base to explore the many attractions of Cornwall. Both the north and south coasts are only a short drive away.

Bodmin Moor

With Bodmin Moor on our doorstep, we are spoilt for choice for lovely moorland and country walks. Just by the cottages is the Two Valleys Walk along the River Fowey and over farmland, open moorland and forest.

Golitha Falls

Less than a mile away is Golitha Falls where the river rushes through a steeply sided wooded valley in a series of spectacular cascades - one of our favourite walks.

Mining Heritage

The moorland village of Minions is also a popular destination for walkers. Here you can explore the Hurlers Stone Circles, dating back around 4000 years (pictured above), the iconic Cheesewring and mining engine houses, chimney stacks and other relics of the Caradon Mining District that form part of an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The I Walk Cornwall website has lots more information for walkers. Four legged friends might also be interested in looking at Dog Walks in Cornwall
