The village of Upton Cross on the eastern edge of Bodmin Moor gives access to the charm and beauty of the moorland. The village is host to the homely Caradon Inn and to the open-air Sterts Theatre with its interesting programme of events and plays. Rising to Caradon Hill, there are spectacular long distance views. The moorland village of Minions is 1.5 miles further, giving access by car to the top of Caradon Hill. This area of Bodmin Moor with its rich mining history, the Hurlers (a Bronze Age stone circle), the Mining Heritage Centre and the famous Cheesewring rocky outcrop is a World Heritage Site and offers a delightful escape for travelers seeking a tranquil countryside retreat. Visitors are drawn to the moor for the drama of its landscape, the richness of its prehistoric monuments and to learn about its industrial heritage.
The outlook from Jupiter Lodge is a panoramic open view southeast towards Kit Hill with Dartmoor in the distance, and Caradon Hill can be seen through the trees to the southwest. Local footpaths include walks along the banks of the River Lynher as it runs through the pretty Stara Woods. It is a 10 minute walk to open moorland and is an ideal location for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts. Upton Cross is just over a mile from the lodge, as is the village of Rilla Mill.
Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Cornish countryside, Jupiter Lodge provides a peaceful sanctuary where guests can unwind and reconnect with nature. From the lodge’s windows, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the Cornish landscape, offering a sense of tranquility and serenity.
After a day of exploration, return to Jupiter Lodge and relax in comfort and style !
