Cliff Hill is a prominent geographical feature located in the county of Lincolnshire, England. Despite its name, it is not a hill in the traditional sense but rather a flat-topped mesa-like structure, resembling a small mountain. Situated near the village of Navenby, Cliff Hill offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, making it a popular destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers.

The hill is composed of limestone and sandstone, which has been shaped by millions of years of erosion, resulting in its unique formation. Its distinct flat top is a result of ancient geological processes, including glaciation and the retreat of ancient seas.

The summit of Cliff Hill stands at an elevation of approximately 100 meters, providing visitors with breathtaking vistas across the Lincolnshire countryside. On clear days, one can observe the Lincolnshire Wolds to the northeast and even catch a glimpse of the distant coastline.

The area surrounding Cliff Hill is rich in biodiversity, with a variety of flora and fauna calling it home. Rare plant species such as the pyramidal orchid and cowslip can be found on its slopes, while birds of prey, including kestrels and buzzards, frequently soar above the hill.

Cliff Hill is easily accessible by foot, with designated footpaths leading to its summit. It is a cherished natural landmark in Lincolnshire, offering both recreational opportunities and a chance to connect with the region's geological and ecological heritage.
