Hollow Head is a prominent landscape feature located in Huntingdonshire, a historic county in the East of England. It is a large depression in the ground that is believed to have been formed during the last Ice Age, approximately 10,000 years ago. The depression is thought to have been created by the melting of glaciers and the subsequent movement of water, resulting in the formation of a hollow, or "head."

Hollow Head is surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, making it a picturesque and tranquil spot in the countryside. The area is popular among hikers and nature enthusiasts, who come to admire the unique geological formation and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The site is also of interest to geologists and researchers studying the effects of glaciation on the landscape.

In addition to its natural beauty, Hollow Head is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, insects, and small mammals. The area is protected and managed by local conservation groups to ensure the preservation of its ecological significance. Overall, Hollow Head is a fascinating and scenic landscape feature that offers visitors a glimpse into the geological history of the region.

Ramsey Hollow Ramsey Hollow is an area of Fenland, east of the village of Ramsey, that is below sea level. Amazingly, there are a number of houses along Ramsey Hollow Drove that will be the first to succumb if the defences are ever breached. This is one of the many drains intersecting the area that are designed to keep the farmland dry.
