The Tamar Valley landscape has been shaped by a long history of settlement and industry, and it retains a rich and diverse rural as well as industrial heritage.

There is evidence of prehistoric settlement in the Stone and Bronze Age barrows in the Kit Hill and Hingston Down area, as well as a hill fort at Dunterton Castle.

The Tamar Valley Mining Heritage Project aims to conserve, celebrate and tell the story of the Tamar Valley mining landscape.
