As you gaze across the water from Dozmary Pool Barn, it's easy to recreate in your imagination the poignant scene as Bedivere carried the sword to the rushy bank of this lonely lake surrounded by the mist-wreathed rolling hills of Bodmin Moor. Twice the loyal knight balked at throwing the awesome sword, but at his third attempt he succeeded and Excalibur was reclaimed by the Lady of the Lake, as described by Alfred Lord Tennyson in

Dozmary Pool Barn is a place to dream and ponder, seduced by the peace and tranquillity with just skylarks, water birds and buzzards for company and stunning unpolluted night skies. Here you can paddle, fish, kayak, walk, watch wildlife and get back to nature.
