Rivey Hill 2.27

Rivey Hill is a hill overlooking Linton in Cambridgeshire. It is the highest point for several miles around and stands at the height of 112m. The hill has a steep slope leading down to Linton and a prominence of 21 m. It is crowned by a large watertower which identifies it when seen from distance. The highest point is on private land but a bridleway crosses near the top, ascending from Linton.The ascent of the hill is the start of a pleasant circular walk, detailed in Jarrold's Walks in Cambridgeshire, which goes north from the top to the Roman Road, follows this over Hildersham Hill (95 m) for 2mi, then descends to Hildersham and returns along the valley of the River Granta to Linton.
