Located on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor the well known Golitha National Nature Reserve is an area of woodland in a steep-sided valley gorge. The upper reaches of the River Fowey flows through the wooded gorge over a spectacular series of waterfalls. On the higher slopes of the reserve you can find the shafts of the old mine workings. It's said that coppicing at Golitha probably goes back to at least the time of the Doomsday book. All photographs © David Packman |
