The beautiful village of Altarnun lies on the north side of Bodmin Moor, just a couple of miles from the main A30 trunk road. There has been a church here since the sixth century, though the present church dates mainly from the 15th century. The rectory is featured in Daphne du Maurier's novel, "Jamaica Inn". The inn itself is about five miles up the road at Bolventor. The pack horse bridge dates from the 15th century. The stream eventually joins the River Tamar and thence to the sea at Plymouth.
