Caradon Hill (viewpoint)

Mine sites, mine dumps, mining settlements

Caradon Hill dominates the Caradon Mining District and the ring of mines and mining settlements that circle the bottom of the hill. In an area that is physically challenging for many visitors, a drive up Caradon Hill provides a memorable experience with its panoramic views. Look over to the east and spot the chimney at Kit Hill, a key feature in the landscape of the nearby Tamar Valley Mining District with Tavistock.
