Remains of a motte and bailey castle built on the orders of William I in 1068.

A very short 1 minute walk to the top of the mound for a spacious and airy view over the top of Cambridge. I can imagine the sunset from up there but unfortunately had to head out to catch my train home.Sadly, the bushes obscured my view a bit, and some people have ignored signs that point to soil erosion - please stick to the path!

Don't expect to see a castle or ruins of a castle because there is a no trace. The history says was a Castle during the Iron Age. The only thing you have a free panoramic view of Cambridge and surrounding. Unfortunately when I was there wasn't sunny but was ok. Very steep hill no chance to wheelchair access.

Lovely views of the city, but could maybe do with some flowers/trees being planted either side.

Brilliant views over Cambridge can be seen from here. The location is not very far from the city centre and worth a visit if you are in the local area. The walk up to the top of the mound is not very diffcult. Sunset is a great time to go here.

This mound is near the centre of Cambridge can be easily overlooked even by those using the adjoining car park and yet it provides commanding views of Cambridge. The car park is pretty cheap for a full days parking, so I’d recommend spending the day visiting the usual tourist attractions and then hiking up the short hill to the top of the mound to watch the sun setting across Cambridge and maybe if you are lucky you’ll see storm clouds on the horizon to improve what is already an interesting vista.

A beautiful example of motte and bailey from the Norman invasion. It was built on a hill that completely dominates Cambridge. In this way, they had the chance to monitor every move of the local people. Thanks to the informative plates placed before the climb, you can take a quick tour of history.
