Standing at an elevation of 1,088 feet (332 meters), it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and is a popular spot for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
The hill is known for its distinctive shape and rocky terrain, covered in heather and gorse. The summit of Hobb's Hill is marked by an ancient stone circle, believed to be of Neolithic origin, which adds to its historical significance. This site attracts archaeologists and historians interested in studying the area's prehistoric past.
The hill is named after "Hob," a local folklore character associated with mischief and magic. Legend has it that Hob's spirit still wanders the hill, adding a touch of mystique to the already captivating landscape.

The hike to the top is moderately challenging, but the effort is rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the rolling moors and distant hills. On a clear day, visitors can even catch a glimpse of the North Cornish coast.
