Hobbacott canal incline is a nineteenth-century engineering structure located in Cornwall, England. The incline formed part of the infrastructure associated with canal transport and mineral extraction during the industrial period. The site represents the practical application of inclined plane technology used to overcome changes in elevation along canal routes, a method that became widespread in British canal engineering during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The monument survives as evidence of Cornwall's industrial heritage and the region's investment in transport systems to facilitate the movement of goods and raw materials.
