You have to pick your days, because high up on the moor it can get chilly. However Summer here, so lets get naked and high. The way to do this is to come off the A30 at Jamaica Inn Cornwall, If going west and take the second turning left, right opposite the pub( this would also be true if going east). You then dive for about 2-3 miles, keeping Colliford lake to your right hand side.Until you come to to a sharp right hand bend, with a road to your left immediatly after it. You park up before that turning and walk back about 50 yds and you will see a track (Public right of way) marked 'Lords Farm'. This will lead you right on to the moor.
I have walked naked from the car, but you must remeber there is farm on the right hans side, on the way to the moor and you may have to cover up. I normally do this walk mid morning, weekends as well and have never met anyone.
Once past the farm through a 5 bar gate this huge area is all yours. There is a wall running from the top of the Tor, to the bottom. so you can either follow the track and go through another gate and walk up the Tor. or start climbing straight away as their is a gate a the tp that lets you cross from one side to another. There are some highland cattle on the moor, but I have never had any problems with them. For the historians if you follow the track right around the base of the Tor and then climb diagonally upwards from the other side you should come across some well defined bronze age round houses.
The view from the top is staggering in all directions and there is nothing like feeling the heather and sun on your naked body and enjoying the freedom.
I will put a couple of photos in the gallery
If we get some settled weather. so we can plan ahead. I will put a posting up the next time i do the walk or somewhere else local 😉
