BodMoor visited on 1st Nov 2015 - their rating: Amb: 3 Access: 3 In the middle of a field on private property. Can be seen from the cycle path but best viewed with binoculars. It's ambiance isn't immediately apparent but if you imagine it in its ancient landscape without any modern influences, then its location and aspect become more like other well known minor sites. The area itself is quite beautiful and there are plenty of well maintained walking and cycling routes along the nearby river and canal. Wheelchair users should have any problems with the river and canal routes.
Seen in field alongside the Neet Valley part of The Cornish Way walk. Approach from A39 at Helebridge and follow small road from crossing island on A39 to Neet Valley. After about 1 kilometre, stone can be seen in a field to the left as you walk towards Bude. Unable to access field from this location for a closer look as it is fenced with barbed wire thereon!
Can also be approached on a circular walking route from Bude via the tourist information centre.
