Cherry Hinton Chalk Pits

Nice small walk around the area. The place is quite peaceful and serene.
Could have a few benches to sit and absorb the beauty of the place.
We have been coming around this area for so many years but explored this walk this time round only.

Exceptional place, very close to Cambridge, with a convenient access for example by bike. I visited it when it was rather cloudy so I am looking forward to coming there once again, but during a golden hour!

One remark: be careful when stepping on the chalk, it is extremely slippery, especially when it's wet.

Lovely place to walk around great for all the family including dogs or if u want somewhere to just unwind

Beautiful place hidden away. Signage on out of bound areas could do with refresh. Rabbits and deer can be spotted

Brilliant nature reserve tucked away on the outskirts of Cambridge. An almost surreal landscape with the chalk cliffs surrounding on all sides.

Having lived nearby on and off for over 50 years this is a special place, I remember when the cement works was operating on Colhams lane and they brought the chalk from here. Left now to nature its good for a walk or exhilarating mountain bike experience!

Nice day out for the kids. Educational as they get to learn a bit of history about the place and can go fossil hunting. Kids do get very messy though. No parking on site so only accessible by bike or walking although there is a small residential car park nearby.

Small natural reserve with a nice view in Cherry Hinton. Good for a walk.

Nice area to walk the dogs, was a nice surprise as I wasn't aware it was here. Would come again.

A really interesting place to visit no matter the time of year. It is good for a casual walk or a slightly riskier one depending on your mood - you do have to keep in mind that not all of it is stable! Keep in mind that whatever shoes you wear will absolutely track chalk everywhere for a few days, and you will probably end up with some chalk on your clothes, so probably don't wear something delicate!

a bit of ancient history going on there, so it's nice to learn about it. It's hidden from view, so I only went there after living in Cambridge for many years. Chalk is always going to be a hit with kids! Nice place to spot glowworms in June too.

Great place to go either on your own, walking the dog or with the kids.

Great natural space, ample and quiet!

Nice open space for a walk.

Very serene and peaceful. Popular place for dog 🐕 walking. Remember to bring plastic bags for dog excrement. There are bins. Next to it there is short trail like forestry Vive for nature watch. Despite being literally next to a main road, it seems you got teleported to a faraway jungle. KID FRIENDLY.

Such a beautiful, unique and important site. It brings Cambridge's prehistory to life and is an amazing area for looking at plants that thrive growing on chalk.

Beautiful chalk hills and very tranquil on a Sunday visit

Most beautiful park in Cambridge

Such a magical spot in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Cherry Hinton. The stark white of the chalk cliffs are stunning. A great place to take the kids and dogs for a run. There is a man made path around the bottom with the opportunity to get off the beaten track surrounding it. It's not large, just a 10 minute circuit walking the path but we'll worth a visit if you are in the area

Safe place to bring your dog. Totally enclosed for any escapees. Could be a fist time place for you to let your dog off the lead. All round vision once you enter in order to assess what other dogs are out on or off leads. Dog bins are provided for waste. Wheelchair accessible if you have good large wheels to ride round paths. Differing levels so you may find cycles on the higher level. Plenty of wildlife here, so any chasers of rabbits- be aware.
