Callington was once a prosperous wool and mining town, it has great character and hosts the popular Honey Fair in the Autumn. Horace Warpole was its Member of Parliament from 1741 to 1754.

The 15th Century Church of St. Mary has a fine alabaster monument to Lord Willoughby de Broke (1452-1501). The Railway almost reached Callington in the 19th Century, terminating at Kelly Bray about a mile north of the town, the line with considerable

support at the time survived the cut backs in the 20th century but was truncated at Gunnislake. 

 

Harrowbarrow  in the Tamar Valley  is in the heart of what was once market garden land and prior to that a mining area. Plenty of mining buildings remain in the area.
