A gentle climb to the viewing point

Radio interferometry started in the mid-1940s on the outskirts of Cambridge, but with funding from the Science Research Council and a corporate donation of £100,000 from Mullard Limited, a leading commercial manufacturer of thermionic valves. Construction of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory commenced at Lords Bridge Air Ammunition Park,[1] a few kilometres to the west of Cambridge. The observatory was founded under Martin Ryle of the Radio-Astronomy Group of the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge and was opened by Sir Edward Victor Appleton on 25 July 1957. This group is now known as the Cavendish Astrophysics Group. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullard_Radio_Astronomy_Observatory)

The "invention" of the prime meridian – more precisely, the scientifically based division of the globe into longitude and latitude, with the prime meridian running at this point as the central reference line – in the second half of the 19th century was an epochal masterpiece in the field of cartography and navigation, particularly significant for seafaring at the time. Even today, in the age of modern GPS navigation based on satellites orbiting the Earth, coordinates based on this principle continue to be used to determine location. A film (in German) from the highly recommended series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" explains the UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites in Greenwich and discusses the problem of longitude measurement solved there.

Visit The Blackbird's Nest Mobile Coffee Shop, based in Barrington church car park. Tuesday-Saturday 8am to 12pm. Serving outrageously good coffee, tea, soft drinks, pastries, and cooked breakfast rolls

Days bakery and food hall a must stop

In the winter months guided tours of 45 mins only going every 30 mins (selected times only) and only the ground floor is a accessible.

Easy walk from the National Trust owned Hall and Stable buildings. Great views looking back towards the Hall, and on a good day, back towards Royston

Not as steep as Croydon Hill...but nearer to Cambridge! It does touch just over 10% from both sides but for longer from the Haslingfield side.
