CARDINHAM This small village and its surrounding parish on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor, where steep wooded valleys plunge down from the moorland heights, is unusually rich in relics of the past. The lovely, church has two of Cornwall's finest Celtic crosses in the churchyard, one of which is well over 8ft tall and beautifully decorated. Nearby is the privately-owned site of the important early - mediaeval Cardinham Castle; a little further away is a Romano-British inscribed stone. The Forestry Commission provides a series of forest trails in Cardinham Woods to the south of the village.
