Upton Cross and Upton are hamlets a quarter of a mile apart in east Cornwall, England, UK. Upton is situated at grid reference SX 279 724 north of Upton Cross 5 miles (8 kilometres) northwest of Callington. They are on the northeast side of Caradon Hill on the B3254 Liskeard to Launceston road.[1] St Paul's Church at Upton Cross is a mission church built in this corner of the parish of Linkinhorne in 1887 to serve the needs of the local mining community.

A little further north are the hamlets of Darleyford and North Darley below Notter Tor and a remarkable tree, the Darley Oak.[citation needed] At Netherton Farm Yarg cheese was produced from 1984 to 2006 by Lynher Dairies.[2] Cornish Blue, a cheese made by the Cornish Cheese Company at Upton Cross, was the winning cheese in the World Food Awards in December 2010.[3]

The Hurlers are a group of three stone circles some distance to the west.
