This milestone is alongside the old road from Callington to Launceston via Beales Mill bridge. When the Callington Turnpike Trust was established in 1785 this road was bypassed in favour of the route taken by present day A388 to Launceston via Wooda bridge and Treburley. The people of Stoke Climsland are lucky that this two hundred year old bypass has left them with a quiet village.
The milestone reads Callington 2 miles.
