Diddylake Shepherd Huts

The whole of Bodmin Moor is yours to ramble straight from the huts. Time-travel back to Neolithic times with a hike to Hurlers Stone Circles, have a scramble up to The Cheesewring (both half an hour’s drive), a twin tor composed of naturally eroded granite slabs, or walk the peaceful shores of Colliford Lake (20 minutes). Fun-filled outdoor action can be had hurtling over the lake at Adrenalin Quarry (25 minutes) on zipwires, and you might like to go trekking across the moor with an alpaca in tow (25 minutes’ drive) Learn about local mining heritage with a tour of Cornwall’s only underground slate mine at Carnglaze Caverns (20 minutes, a good idea for keeping occupied on any wet days), or by following sections of the Caradon Trail (25 minutes) on foot or by bike past former mines and engine houses. Choose between the two Cornish coastlines for beach adventures: surfers hang out on Fistral beach at Newquay (an hour) to the north, while in the south, East Looe beach (35 minutes) is known for safe swimming and the crabbing potential off Banjo Pier.
