About

Helman Tor is a forest in south west. (Hill in Cornwall, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Helman Tor is a granite hill in mid Cornwall, UK with several separated tors, and is designated as a (non-statutory) County Geology Site. The hill also has a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Helman Tor is also the name of the largest nature reserve managed by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust which includes Breney Common and Red Moor. The Wildlife Trust aims to rewild the reserve, including potentially releasing beavers, as well as long-horn cattle and Cornish black pigs. Helman Tor, along with Breney Common, Red Moor and Belowda Beacon, is part of the Mid Cornwall Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest. It lies on the Saints' Way, a long-distance footpath completed in 1986."
