Formerly owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, Kit Hill was given to the
people of Cornwall in 1985 to celebrate the birth of Prince William.
At the summit, three viewing tables help you identify features as
you view the surrounding countryside.
There are many miles of path for exploring, which include:
A circular walk of approximately 2 miles, waymarked by distinctive
granite posts.
A circular horse trail, over 3 miles in length, marked with
wooden posts and blue arrows.
Various events celebrating the beauty, history and wildlife of the
Hill are available throughout the year - see local press or Tamar
Valley events programme for details.
Several books describing the History and Archaeology of the Hill
are sold in local shops.
Please Note:
Due to the wild, rugged nature, many of the paths are unsuitable
for pushchair and wheelchair users. Access to all car parks is
good with stunning views in all directions.
There are no toilet facilities on the Hill.
Livestock, used as part of the ongoing heathland management,
are grazing on parts of the Hill. Please remember to close all
gates
securely.
Dogs are welcome, but please keep them under close control at
all times. During the bird-nesting season and when livestock are
on the
Hill please keep them on a short lead. Owners are asked not to
allow their dogs to foul the paths and open areas.
