About Fencing in Callington
Callington in Cornwall began as a Saxon settlement recorded in the Domesday Book, granted a market charter by Henry III in 1267 and later laid out as a planned medieval borough at the junction of key routes to Launceston, Saltash, Liskeard and Tavistock. The town stood at the gateway to one of the richest copper mining districts in the world during the nineteenth century, a heritage now marked by 23 large scale murals across the town depicting its mining, agricultural and folklore history.

Types of Materials found in Callington
Callington sits on granite bedrock on the slopes of Kit Hill, a prominent granite landmark that dominates the surrounding landscape, generally giving firm, stony ground for fence post footings. Ground near former mine workings on the edge of town can be less predictable, so a soil check is worthwhile before deep post installation there.
