Situated to the north of the village of St Neot, the land lies between the A38 Bodmin to Liskeard main road, and the A30 dual carriageway between Bodmin and Launceston.
It is also in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the southern fringes of Bodmin Moor, near Colliford Reservoir and the famous Dozmary Pool, where King Arthurs Excalibur is supposed to be laid. To the north of the land is Penkestle Moor and Letter Moor, being an area of common land.

The land is well fenced and the mature boundary hedges are a mixture of stone walls and well built banks containing significant quantities of granite, which aids their stock proof nature. There are fantastic
panoramic views over surrounding land to the south Cornish coast.
