Kit Hill

Climbing to just under 1,000 feet above sea level Kit Hill is the highest point of Hingston Down Ridge, within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From the summit there are outstanding views across southeast Cornwall to Plymouth Sound, and on a clear day south as far as the Eddystone Lighthouse 37 miles away. The abundant archaeological remains are a reminder of the metal and stone extractive industries, which once took place on the hill. It was at Kit Hill in AD 835 that the Battle of Hingston Down took place, where King Egbert of Wessex defeated Cornish and Danish forces. In the 18th century a man called Sir John Call built a folly to commemorate the battle, and its remains can still be seen.
