Climbing to just under 1000 feet (334m) above sea level Kit Hill is the highest point of Hingston Down Ridge, within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Kit Hill is situated between Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. The abundant archaeological remains are a reminder of the metal and stone extractive industries, which once took place on the hill. 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. With its 400 acres (152 hectares) for public enjoyment, Kit Hill is an ideal place for a wide range of activities including bird watching, kite flying and walking. Dramatic views stretch across the Tamar Valley toward Dartmoor in the east and Plymouth and the sea to the south. At the summit, three viewing tables help you identify features as you view the surrounding countryside.
