Trink Hill

Trink Hill is a 212 m hill that lies between the hamlets of Trink and Cripplesease, near to the village of Nancledra, Cornwall, UK. Trencrom Hill lies one kilometre to the South East.

History

A Round barrow exists at the summit, an OS Trig point within it.

A stone named after the nearby Giew Mine (or Trink Hill menhir) stands on the western slope of the hill.

Twelve O'Clock Rock is a granite outcrop, supposed to be an unusual logan stone in that it can only be rocked at midnight.

Wheal Sister mine, covering both Trencrom and Trink hills was a consolidation of four tin mines in October 1875. The mines were previously known as Wheals Kitty, Margaret, Mary and Trencrom.
