Bodmin Beacon Local Nature Reserve

From the top of the Beacon, where the 144 foot tall Gilbert’s Monument sits proudly over the landscape, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding Cornish countryside, before taking a leisurely stroll around the Reserve and its hidden lanes which are carefully managed to promote wildlife. A walk through the Beacon wood will transport visitors from the open hilltop scenery into the shaded, tree covered walks where butterflies can be spotted absorbing the warming rays of the sun while at rest.
