SITUATION
Lower Tor can only be described as a quintessential rural hideaway, located on the southern fringes Bodmin Moor in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The moor with its open stretches of grassland, rugged tors, wooded valleys and ancient stone circles dating back to prehistoric times, is perfect for the walking, riding and natural world enthusiast. There is also a fantastic array of wildlife in the area especially native birds such as siskins, tits and wrens.
The small hamlet of Warleggan is just over a mile away and has a church and chapel. The village of St Neot is three miles away and again has a church and chapel plus pub and primary school. The towns of Liskeard and Bodmin approximately ten and twelve miles respectively both providing secondary schools, shopping, sports and leisure facilities. There is a mainline railway station at
Bodmin Parkway which links directly with London
Paddington.
The A30 main road is some four miles to the north and links to the whole of Cornwall. The cities of Plymouth and Truro lie within commuting distance and both offer excellent shopping centres. There is a regional airport at Newquay which is a 40 minute drive.
There are numerous sporting facilities in the area including golf at Lanhydrock, Bindown near Looe and the internationally renowned course at St Mellion. Both the north and south coasts are within easy striking distance where there are sandy surfing beaches, sailing opportunities, pretty coves and harbour villages to explore.
