Towards Brinkley Wood At over 350ft, the hills of East Cambridgeshire are a lot higher than much of the rest of the county. Big fields and large plantations typify the area. A little further from here, Six Mile Bottom Road, from which this picture was taken, begins to slope down to the lower-lying villages east of Cambridge, near the edge of The Fens.
