CARADON, a hill and copper-mines in Cornwall; 4 miles N of Liskeard. The hill is 1,208 feet high; and commands a fine view. The mines are at the south foot of the hill, excavated in granite. A mineral railway, called the Liskeard and Caradon railway, 8¾ miles long, opened in 1846, connects them with Liskeard.
