Beautiful view down the Tamar Valley from the gardens

Kit Hill sits high above the Tamar Valley, overlooking the river and the valley it formed. The hill boasts a wide array of history, including 18 burial mounds, neolithic and bronze-age barrows, as well as pointers towards Cornwall's more contemporary mining history.

Tudor house and former home of the Edgcumbe family. The interior of the building is full of relics, tapestries, armour and period furniture, where the outside holds pristine gardens and grounds. The surrounding grounds also hold woodlands and apple orchards. Through exploring the area around the house, you'll gain a great insight into the Tamar Valley's robust and diverse industrial history, notably in the 19th quay located nearby.

Also, you can get a nice cup of tea and tasty flapjack, in The Edgcumbe cafe!
