Kit Hill

Kit Hill - 16/08/18

One of the historic buildings included on the walk

I went to a dog show in St Dominick a couple Sundays ago, and I did mum proud by winning 2nd in both most cuddliest dog and best sporting dog!

Got a little bit closer for this one...

After the show, we popped back to Kit Hill for a quick run around the stack at the summit. Although mum used to go there quite regularly, she hadn't been for years and I have never been!

I enjoy posing

We did the circular walk starting from the bottom car park that goes up to the shaft then down around the quarry before heading back to the start. It takes about 2 hours to do, although mum stopped to take lots of photos in the process.

The shaft

We really enjoyed our walk around the hill exploring all the old mining buildings.

The shaft up close

The view from the top is quite breathtaking

Proper poser...

I am good off the lead and stick to the paths, which is good as it is known for adders and mine shafts...

Suitable footwear is required, especially for the second half of the walk, as it got quite rocky.

These little stones guided
the way

I had a quick paddle in the quarry

The only complaint I had was that the route wasn't the easiest to follow, and I certainly deviated from the proper path a few times. A few more guide stones would have been useful!

Thanks for reading! Keep your eyes open for our next adventure!
