About Callington

Callington, a Cornish town, finds its character shaped by the rich mineral veins that once pulsed beneath its soil and the enduring spirit of the land. Historically, its fortunes were entwined with the mining of copper and tin, a legacy still whispered in the undulating landscape that rolls towards the Tamar Valley. This ancient industry, now a memory etched into the hillsides, once sustained a thriving community, its economy built on the sweat and resilience of generations who worked the earth. The gentle slopes surrounding Callington, often bathed in a soft, diffused light, speak of a past deeply connected to the bounty and challenges of rural life. The heart of Callington beats with a quiet resilience, evident in its market square where the scent of local produce still mingles with the air. Though no grand cathedrals punctuate its skyline, the sturdy stone of its parish church, St. Mary, stands as a testament to its enduring faith and community. The annual Callington Show, a vibrant celebration of local agriculture and crafts, draws neighbours and visitors alike, a colourful echo of the town's deep-rooted connection to the land. It is a place where the spirit of Cornwall, a blend of hardy independence and gentle warmth, continues to bloom.
