Colloggett Hill is a prominent geological feature located in Cornwall, England. Rising to an elevation of 372 meters (1,220 feet) above sea level, it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain due to its height. The hill is situated near the town of Liskeard and offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Colloggett Hill is known for its rugged terrain, characterized by rocky outcrops and patches of dense vegetation. It is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, who come to explore the various walking trails that crisscross the hillside. The area is also home to a diverse array of wildlife, including birds of prey and rare plant species.

In addition to its natural beauty, Colloggett Hill has historical significance as well. The remains of ancient settlements have been discovered on the hill, indicating that it has been inhabited for thousands of years. Today, it serves as a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and reconnect with nature.

Sunshine filters through the dust raised by the passage of cars on this quite busy road.

Skinham Point seen from the Tamar

The wooded point is the end of the Kingsmill Lake inlet. The tide was high so the inlet was full of water

Field by Clarke's Lake

Clarke's Lake is the stream running at the foot of this field, most of which is in SX4161. Footpath 636/6/1 runs across the centre of the field, but seems to give up when it reaches the stream.
