鸡公岭(英语:Kai Kung Leng)是香港新界西北的一座山峰,位于元朗新市镇粉岭/上水新市镇之间,海拔585米。

名称

鸡公岭原名圭角山挂角山。根据《大清一统志》:“挂角山,在县南三十里,两峰突起如角,曰大挂小挂,一名牛潭山”。而在《新安县志》中,“挂角山一名桂角在县东南四十里。山多老桂,两峰对峙,其形如角,故名”。

地理

鸡公岭在十八区区域行政上大部分属于元朗区,惟东北麓则属于北区。山岭大部分属于林村郊野公园,西北麓除外。

鸡公岭由两大山峰群组成,鸡公岭主峰上的三个山头由西至东细分为大罗天大卦)(572米)、罗天顶(585米)和龙潭山(550米)。其西的副峰称为鸡公山金鸡岭小挂(374米)。

鸡公岭

该山山体广阔,而其东、北和西方都没有比它高的山,所以从元朗和上水等地都可清楚望见。站在山上,可鸟瞰元朗平原米埔一带的乡郊景色以及深圳市区与蛇口一带景色。鸡公岭的山脊东西走向,东西两端分别为蕉径和逢吉乡,亦是主要的登山入口。虽然山岭属于郊野公园范围,但没有任何郊游设施。路径除了没有维修之外,更因为非法越野摩托车活动而变得打滑,所以只宜有经验的远足者前往。

鸡公岭向北伸展,有牛潭山(337米)和麒麟山(222米)。鸡公岭的东南面有一走向和大小相若的大刀屻北大刀屻,两组山峰之间的山谷则建有粉锦公路,沿途主要有八乡锦田

设施

两山山顶均设有三角测量站,其中一个建于西面的572米山头。副峰设有香港数码地面电视广播之辅助发射站,服务元朗东部、锦田水边村及辋井围等地。
