Latest house prices for Egypt, Callington

Egypt is a small village situated in the southeastern part of Cornwall, close to the town of Callington. Despite its exotic name, there is no historical connection to the country of Egypt. Instead, the name is believed to come from an old English word meaning "cliff" or "precipice," which gives a clue to the village's location on a slope overlooking the Tamar River. Today, Egypt is a quiet residential area with a small but tight-knit community that values its natural surroundings and outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing. Its proximity to Dartmoor National Park makes it an appealing choice for nature lovers seeking a picturesque place to call home. Although relatively isolated, Egypt offers convenient access to Callington for shopping and other necessities, and Plymouth is just over 30 minutes away by car.
