Callington Museum is situated in a chapel at the entrance to the Cemetery in Liskeard Road. It is open from April to October, Friday, to Sunday from 10.00 - 16.00hrs. If you want to see how this town developed and what influenced its development this is the place to visit.

The parish church sits right in the centre of town. The mother church used to be St Sampson at South Hill but in the late 1430's St Mary was built to serve the town. It was restored in the 1860's with some later additions. The font dates back to Norman times. The magnificent alabaster altar tomb of St Willoughby  [d.1502] is well worth a visit. The church is usually kept locked but a key is available [Enquire at the Town Hall]

If you walk out of town on the Tavistock Road and turn right after the roundabout but before the garage you will have a pleasant walk down a quiet lane and will eventually come to Dupath Farm where the spring is covered by a building dating from  1510 although it is believed to be the site of a pre-Christian shrine. This is one of the most imposing well houses in the County.

Panoramic views of South East Cornwall can be seen from the top, look south to the Tamar estuary and Plymouth, east to Dartmoor, north across rolling countryside and west towards Bodmin. The town of Callington nestles at the foot of the hill. The recommended route is to walk using one of the footpaths that wend outwards from the town, but if you are not very mobile you can slowly drive to the top.

Holmbush Mine was part of a large mine that stretched from one side of Kelly Bray to the other. The best remaining buildings are at Holmbush and Winsor. Permissive access is allowed to them but great caution has to be exercised. Access to the buildings photographed is from the Kelly Bray to Stoke Climsland road, on the outskirts of Kelly Bray turn left after the large wooden shed, into a small car parking area. Some preliminary reading will assist with a greater understanding of what you can see. There are many books on mining in the Callington Library

This quay, which is now quiet and peaceful has seen far busier times when it played its part in the industrial development of the Tamar Valley during the Victorian era. [see old postcard circa 1900 showing ships tied up at the quay].  The original copper quay is now retained as a car park with the cobbles and tram lines intact.
