Clitters emerges from the landscape as a quiet witness to the mineral wealth that once defined the Tamar Valley. It lies 2.0 miles north-east of Callington (from Callington: bearing 41°T, OS grid SX 380 720), and is situated east-south-east of Downgate village. The rugged horizon is dominated by the shadow of Kit Hill, where the remnants of a historic wheelpit stand as a hollowed monument to the industry that carved these slopes. Sunlight catches the moss-covered stones of these abandoned workings, casting long, melancholic silhouettes across the bracken-strewn ground. Clitters remains tethered to this industrial past, yet the air here holds a stillness that contrasts sharply with the frantic labour of the nineteenth-century miners. To the south-east, the ancient earthworks of the round barrows on Hingston Down rise against the sky, grounding the hamlet in a far deeper, prehistoric chronology. The land here slopes with a deliberate grace, guiding the eye toward the verdant canopy of Greenscoombe Wood. It is a place where the earth remembers the iron and tin drawn from its veins, even as the wild grasses reclaim the silence of the hills.
