About

The Roche & Goss Moor area lies on the granite spine of mid-Cornwall, characterised by expanses of lowland heath and wetland. The landscape is largely shaped by historic clay mining, with scattered spoil tips and old workings now reclaimed by vegetation. A network of paths, including the Saints' Way trail, crosses the moor, connecting small settlements like Roche, which is dominated by its rock outcrop and hermitage chapel.

The Goss Moor National Nature Reserve forms a significant part of this area, a large mosaic of wet heath, peat bogs, and willow carr that provides habitat for species like the marsh fritillary butterfly. The main A30 road now bypasses the moor on a viaduct, reducing disturbance to the sensitive ecology. Agriculture and forestry occur on the fringes, contrasting with the open, undeveloped central tracts of common land.
