The Copper Trail Booknew! "The Copper Trail" new!
Written by Mark Camp
The Copper Trail is a new 60 mile circumnavigation around the whole of Bodmin Moor,
and with its varied and dramatic scenery, is Cornwall's answer to the Pennine Way!
The book contains detailed information on the route itself, and there is also a wealth of
additional local and historical information along the way. The route's attractions include
some of Cornwall's finest scenery, natural features such as Golitha Falls, plus many
pretty moorland villages and ancient archaeological sites. The name "Copper Trail" came
about because of the great number of abandoned copper mines passed along the route.
Price £4-95 ...or £4-50 if you are booking with us!

wooded valleys and gentle farmland, with illustrated maps to guide you round.
