Congratulations, you've reached the highest point - for roadies - in the county (the actual county top is ~500m west of you at 147m in Roughway Wood, accessible by a bridleway for our gravel-loving compatriots).

Arkesden Village

Highlight • Settlement

Quintessential Cambridgeshire village, complete with thatched roofs and a small village green. Incredibly peaceful place to stop for a break after the gentle climb.
