At 367 feet (112 m) above sea level, Rivey Hill is one of the highest points in Cambridgeshire and affords great views. What makes the hill particularly distinctive, though, is Rivey Hill Water Tower, which can be seen for miles around. Constructed between 1934-36, the striking Art Deco tower is 98 feet (30 m) high.

Rivey Hill Water Tower and Off-Road Climb

Highlight • Climb

Typically water-logged gravel track descent from the Linton Water tower on Rivey Hill to the village of Linton. Dries up a bit in the summer months, but you'll get your feet wet in the other seasons!
