Callington Cottages
Discover the Tamar Valley with a stay in one of our Callington
holiday cottages, an idyllic spot in south-east Cornwall around
fourteen miles from Plymouth. A small 15th
Century market town once home to a large mining community,
Callington is famous for its unique Mural Trail created by
professional and amateur artists. Every corner brings something
new, with colourful works of art portraying Callington's past,
present and future emblazoned on various walls and buildings. A
Heritage Centre opens at weekends in summer showcasing local
artefacts, including mining memorabilia, while other points of
interest include St. Mary's Church, the Old Clink and Dupath
Well House, an ornate granite building containing holy water.
Attractions near your Callington holiday rental
Stride out from your Callington holiday home to Kit Hill Country
Park, where you can climb up to a wonderful viewpoint over the
Tamar Valley and nearby national parks of Bodmin and Dartmoor. There's a network of
way-marked trails, archaeological and mining remains, some good
picnic spots for that lunch with a view and seasonal events like
the Kit Hill Run in June. Other local festivals include Callington
Carnival (July) and Honey Fair (October).
Travel underground by narrow-gauge train to the old copper mine
at Morwellham Quay, a World Heritage Site with lots to see and do
for all the family - historic port, Victorian farm, museums etc. Or
glide on Shamrock, a beautifully restored barge at Cotehele Quay,
part of the National Trust estate which also features a stunning
Tudor mansion, cider press, formal gardens and walking trails.
