Kelly Bray is a village North of the town of Callington in
Cornwall. At one time it had a railway station with a line linking
to Gunnislake and Plymouth and onwards to the rest of the
country. It was one of the lines which was closed by
Dr Beeching. The former railway station was located
where Beeching Park industrial estate is now located.
The Swingle Tree pub was formally called the Railway Inn
For those who don't know what a Swingle Tree is it is a device
consisting of 3 beams which allows two horses to pull one cart.
The area was extensively mined and there are several engine
houses in the area.
Kit Hill overlooks Kelly Bray and it is possible to walk (climb?)
up it. Three routes start by going up the lane opposite the Post Office.
Views from the top are spectacular. Another popular walk is to explore
Kelly Bray woods. Located just north of Kelly Bray on the Stoke road.
