View of the Rolling Fields Near Chishill and Barkway

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lovely road with great views of the rolling fields and of the windmill to the North. Lovely steady drag uphill if Cambridge bound or beautiful downhill if heading south west, a road sure to put a smile on your face.

Little Chishill

Highlight • Settlement

Just a couple of blink-and-you-miss-them cottages with a church. The road drops quickly into the village through a narrow, high-banked lane, which can make the uneven surface difficult to see if it's a bright day and you're wearing sunglasses.
