Cheesewring
naturalA natural granite stack on Stowes Hill above Minions, the Cheesewring is a spectacular product of the differential weathering that has sculpted Bodmin Moor's tors over millions of years. The larger slabs balance on smaller ones in a seemingly impossible stack, giving it the appearance of giant cheeses in a press. The views from the hillside encompass most of eastern Cornwall.

The Hurlers Stone Circles
historicThree Bronze Age stone circles arranged in a line on the moor above Minions village are among the finest prehistoric monuments in Britain. Legend has it they are men turned to stone for playing hurling on a Sunday. The circles stand in a landscape also dotted with cairns, engine houses, and the Cheesewring rock formation — an astonishing concentration of human and natural drama.

Minions Heritage Centre
historicA small but engaging heritage centre in the former engine house at Minions, the highest village on Bodmin Moor, telling the story of the bronze and copper mining that shaped this landscape in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The centre sits at the heart of a landscape rich in prehistory — the Hurlers stone circles are a five-minute walk away.
