Crow's Nest is a village in Cornwall, immediately south-east of Darite. It is within the civil parish of St Cleer, on the southeastern edge of Bodmin Moor, and three miles north of Liskeard.
This is a fine example of a village which grew up around its public house, taking its name from the house: The Crow's Nest.
A Site of Special Scientific Interest, also named Crow's Nest, is located 200 yards north of the village. It is noted for its geological interest, as well as various species of moss.[1] Specifically this is one of only two sites in the world where Cornish path moss (Ditrichum cornubicum) grows, a distinction it shares with the Phoenix United Mine, also in Cornwall. The SSSI also forms part of Phoenix United Mine and Crow's Nest Special Area of Conservation.[2]
