Redmoor is a hamlet about a mile north-west of Lostwithiel in the parish of Lanlivery. There is also a nature reserve called Redmoor, two miles west of the village itself, which is an Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). This area covers 89 hectares and is owned by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
Crossing the northern part of the nature reserve is a tributary of the River Par. This part of Redmoor was mined for loose tin until the end of the 19th century. It is thought that the name ’Redmoor’ comes from the oxidised metal in the local streams. There are two main habitat types in the nature reserve. To the north there is dry heathland, and to the south there are wetlands and bogs.
There is a beautiful walk, about three miles, which crosses Redmoor and continues across Helman Tor. The walk includes a Neolithic enclosure near the top of Helman Tor.
