Have to admit I drove to the top. A great view though. In my defence I was off to climb another hill afterwards. | KevPalmer | 16/01/2024 |
Drove up to the car park at the top on the way home. Limited views/overcast. Went for lunch at nearby NT Cotehele, which is deserving of a longer visit. With Gillian | richard69 | 30/08/2023 |
Summit shrouded in early morning mist, but soon cleared on the way down to give exceptional temperature inversion views to the north and east. | Alex C | 15/08/2023 |
Loved this Marilyn because it's an easy bag and stupendous 360 all-round views | mazz | 02/07/2023 |
Parked at free car park in Callington | Stevooo | 26/06/2023 |
Drove up! Little beauty! | Nicky C | 16/04/2023 |
We made a pleasant circular of this hill from the car park at the bottom of the road east of the hill. We followed trails contouring, then heading up to the summit. We then followed a trail parallel with the summit road back to our car park. 90m ascent. Very easy for a Marilyn. A couple of dog walkers about. Dull and cloudy but a slight view to be seen. Our last Cornish Marilyn bagged. Earlier that day we bagged Langstone Downs, Kilmar Tor, Stowe's Hill and Caradon Hill in better weather. Afterwards we drove to and bagged Cadson Bury. | DanTrig | 22/03/2023 |
Drove to upper car park. Interesting industrial area. Good views. | CJM | 30/06/2022 |
The summit interpretation board references Kit Hill as a Marilyn .... a bagger in Cornwall Council perhaps? | summitter | 14/04/2022 |
From car park with view. High point next to chimney | climbingkershaw | 01/04/2022 |
Jog up and around from CP to E. Will remember this hill since my Mum fractured her hip tripping when I called to say on way back to cottage... | davechaffey | 15/03/2022 |
Full day walking around Kit Hill with Alma Aurea including a revisit to the trig. | meltdiceburg | 24/02/2022 |
Walked with baby on my back as a birthday present to myself, parked for free in the main car park and walk 2miles up, over and round. No view at all as overcast but never mind! Really easy, I just photographed the map at the car park and followed the paths | Wackywelshy | 27/01/2022 |

Walk this one all the time as it's on the doorstep | Marja | 24/12/2020 |
Fourth hill of 5 on wander towards Cornwall with J. A second glorious day. Started from lowest car park to E & walked up through the scrub to the tower & trig at the top. Great view all round. Walked down S to old mine workings & then back on a different track round hill to start. | NotReallyABagger | 26/09/2020 |
cycled there from horsebridge direction, 1000 feet of climb in 2 miles, very dense fog at the top couldn't even see the monument at the top, need to go back on a clear day | FelixClayhill | 06/09/2020 |
Drive up Kit Hill Climb from B3257 parking in car park just west and below trig pillar. Visited trig pillar then climbed steps to base of chimney and highest point. Took photo from mound and 334m spot height to south of chimney which looks lower than base of chimney. | mntainman | 21/01/2020 |
From top car park. Just 30 seconds, but a fine view. No 601 and the start of a new era! | GWR Chris | 20/12/2019 |
1/4 Marilyn Day in Cornwall. Kit Hill, main work done by my car to the car park. Got out and walked about a bit. Pity the mist prevented any view! | silveracorn_alan | 01/11/2019 |
From lower car park (free). Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 06/08/2019 |
Pleasant place for a family stroll, and nice to be in Cornwall for the first time. | agentmancuso | 30/06/2019 |
7/7 Marilyn, drove to upper car park just after sunset. Enjoyed the twilight views. | N.Morters | 27/04/2019 |
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
 
This wasn't originally on the list for today but then I spotted (a) a road you can drive all the way to it (b) the IS bonus (c) it is a Marilyn.... also on site a pokestop! And it also has a rivet.

Drove up to car park on top. | lenman | 01/01/2019 |
From the car park at SX 383713. 'Dog sh*t Hill' would be a more apt name - I recommend you drive up to the top if you prefer not to get dogs' calling cards stuck to your soles. | Isbjorn | 04/11/2018 |
route road and moorland path | Brian40 | 23/09/2018 |

By bike from Luckett. Gutted there was no ice cream van at the top | victimofmathema | 05/08/2018 |
Parked at base of North Incline - Walked up north incline - then followed waymarked path to old mine workings - chimney and trig. | briandavies | 29/07/2018 |
Drove up to car park between trig point and chimney. Enjoyed packed lunch. Another hot, sunny day with expansive views over Bodmin Moor, more hazy looking east to Dartmoor. Excellent! | Dartmoorman | 06/07/2018 |
Easy peasy. Drive up and stroll to the summit. | elizyanne | 03/07/2018 |
