Opis

The Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is dominated by the 1,096 foot tall Kit Hill. It is managed by Cornwall County Council and gives spectacular views around the surrounding countryside. Kit Hill was extensively mined in the past for tin and copper, at it's summit is a mine chimney with modern transmitters, there are a number of paths and a horse riding trail. BE AWARE, during the breeding season keep to well worn paths to avoid disturbance. The hill has a number of ancient burial mounds, the highest parts are dominated by Heather (Calluna), Gorse (Ulex) and Bilberry (Vaccinium), the hill is surrounded on most sides by farm fields with hedges and small trees and shrubs.

Kit Hill can be busy during the Summer months, having a car park at the summit only increases the amount of visitors. Depending on season the hill has a reasonable bird list. siewka złota can be found, but are often disturbed by visitors. świergotek drzewny, pierwiosnek, piecuszek, mysikrólik and kruk are just some of the birds to be found.
