Overview

Welcome to this very ancient settlement – mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Cishella. We are in the most southerly part of Cambridgeshire and we will take our break after 3.3 miles at Cambridgeshire’s highest point. It reaches 147 metres or 495 feet but you’ll be pleased to know we don’t have to walk more than 120 feet to reach it via the Harcamlow Way. The terrain is fairly easy going with no difficult challenges, but as always keep an eye out for trip hazards and tree roots.
