Treswallock Downs is a stunning expanse of moorland located in Cornwall, England. Situated near the village of St. Cleer, this area covers an impressive area of approximately 400 acres. The downs are characterized by their rolling hills, vast stretches of heather, and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

The moorland is known for its rich biodiversity, with a variety of plant and animal species calling it home. Visitors to Treswallock Downs can expect to encounter a diverse range of flora, including heather, gorse, and bracken, which create a vibrant and colorful landscape throughout the year.

The downs are a haven for hikers and walkers, with numerous footpaths crisscrossing the area, allowing visitors to explore the stunning scenery at their own pace. The terrain is generally easy to navigate, but sturdy footwear is recommended due to the uneven ground.
