Kit Hill is primarily composed of granite, which makes for a rocky yet impressive landscape. The hill is part of a wider area of mineral-rich granite uplands, which reflects the rich mining history of the region.
From the summit, hikers can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, Dartmoor to the east, and the coast towards the south.
The name 'Kit' is derived from the Cornish word for 'to cut', possibly referencing the way the granite was quarried in the area.
