If you love coffee and cake, try

Coby’s Coffee Shop

The Woods Café at Cardinham Woods (carparking fee but you may want to take the opportunity to have a walk or cycle, or let your dog have a swim in the river!)

Great Walks

Visit Warleggan church https://www.chct.info/historie... which is next to Pandia.

We can advise on local walks and also see our booklet with details of three marvellous local walks which start at Pandia. And – you can simply walk out of the gate and wander at your leisure, too. For instance, stroll up to the moor, or take the steep lane almost opposite the driveway to Pandia to walk down to Panter’s Bridge. You could then walk along the road back through Mount to Warleggan.

This is a super website for circular walks on Bodmin Moor. https://www.iwalkcornwall.co.u.... See also https://www.komoot.com/guide/1... and you may enjoy walks around St. Neot https://www.iwalkcornwall.co.u...
