A market town in Cornwall called Callington has a long history of mining. Kit Hill, the highest point there is, was given to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to commemorate the birth of Prince William. Fantastic vistas throughout southeast Cornwall and as far as Plymouth Sound may be seen from Kit Hill's summit. Ginsters Cornish pasties are made in Callington, which is located in the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Callington also has an excellent assortment of shops, inns, and cafes. A few miles away, in the Tamar Valley, the charming village of Calstock clings to the rocky riverbanks and is dominated by the magnificent Calstock Railway Viaduct, a massive 11-arched stone building that supports one of Britain's most scenic branch lines. Cotehele, a lovely historic home and gardens owned by the National Trust with a small quay and inn, and Morwhellam Quay, a theme park that staged a living history production for the BBC and where visitors can explore the rich mining heritage and watch blacksmiths, potters, and craftsmen at work, are two other interesting locations along the river. Only nine miles separate Callington from the bustling market town of Tavistock, which is well worth a stop on your route to a day of hiking on Dartmoor. A wonderful starting point for exploring West Devon and South Cornwall.
