Embark on an easy 4.0-mile (6.4 km) hike around the Cheesewring & South Phönix Nine loop from Minions, a journey that typically takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes. You will experience a gentle climb of 334 feet (102 metres) as you traverse open moorland and rocky sections, offering panoramic views across Bodmin Moor. The dramatic Cheesewring, a unique weather-sculpted granite tor, stands out as a key visual landmark on this route, providing a striking focal point amidst the rugged landscape.
When planning your visit, be aware that while the trail is generally easy, the moorland environment means paths can sometimes be indistinct, so carrying a map or using a navigation app is recommended. Waterproof boots are advisable to handle potentially damp or uneven terrain. You can usually find parking conveniently located in Minions, often near the Minions Heritage Centre, which serves as a good starting point for your adventure.
This route offers a fascinating blend of natural geological wonders and rich historical context. Beyond the natural formations, you will encounter the ancient Hurlers Stone Circles, hinting at prehistoric human activity in the area. The trail also passes relics of the South Phoenix Mine, providing a glimpse into the region's industrial past and its significant mining heritage, making it a notable exploration of both nature and history.
