Facts and practical information

Rowley's Hill is a hill in Cambridgeshire, near the villages of Harston and Newton. Although of only moderate height, it has a relatively large prominence due to it being surrounded on all sides by a 'moat' of much lower land. It therefore stands separate from the other hills in the region and has a distinctive appearance. ()
