Kithill chimney is 80ft high and was built in 1878 for the winding and stamping engine of Kithill Consuls mine. Rumour has it that every known mineral in the world may be found on, or under, Kit Hill. Prince Charles, the Duke of Cornwall, gave the hill to the county in 1985 and it is now a country park. The chimney is now used to carry radio communication equipment. There is parking at the top of the hill near the chimney.
