Nestled in the rolling landscape of south-east Cornwall, Callington is a sturdy market town that grew wings during the mining boom of the 19th century. Positioned at the crossroads of the A388 and A390, it serves as a practical gateway between the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the rugged expanses of Bodmin Moor. Life here is presided over by Kit Hill; at 330 metres high, it offers one of the best vantage points in the county, where you can look out over the granite stack of its iconic chimney stack towards Plymouth Sound on a clear day. The town centre retains its traditional footprint, with granite buildings housing a mix of long-standing local shops and an unusually high concentration of colourful murals that reflect the town’s heritage. It’s a functional, lived-in place with deep roots in agriculture and mining, offering a quieter Cornish existence that provides straightforward access to the city of Plymouth, just fifteen miles to the south.
