From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
50.521°N 4.2473°W / 50.521; -4.2473
Hingston Down is a hill not far from Gunnislake in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is the subject of an old rhyme, due to the prolific tin mining that formerly took place in the area:
Hingston Down well ywrought
Is worth London Town dearly bought.[1]
This Hingston Down should not be confused with the Hingston Down at 50.661°N 3.746°W / 50.661; -3.746, a hill spur about a mile east of the town of Moretonhampstead in the neighbouring county of Devon.
