Stoke Climsland: foot of Kit Hill inclined plane
The first inclined plane here was constructed in 1872. It brought granite from quarries near the summit of Kit Hill to the sidings at Downgate, on the East Cornwall Mineral Railway; the granite was then taken via a second incline at Calstock to quays on the Tamar. The incline was modified in the early 20th century, with the rail gauge changed from 3' 6" to 4' 8½" and the Calstock incline was replaced with a wagon lift at the side of the new Calstock viaduct. The line here finally closed in 1955. Kit Hill granite was used in six crossings of the Thames in London and for the Bishop Rock lighthouse

Entrance to Kit Hill
Most people get onto Kit Hill via the road on the eastern side of the hill which takes you up to the top. This is the far less used and more interesting northern entrance to the hill. Here the only way to the top is to walk or ride a horse.

The Bottom of the Inclined Plane on Kit Hill
Kit Hill quarry was situated near the top of the hill and stone lowered down this inclined plane in rail wagons. Here at the bottom there were sidings and a link to the railway running along the edge of Kit Hill. Now this inclined plane is a quick way to walk to the top of the hill.
