Edics Hill is a prominent geographical feature located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. Despite its name, it is not a hill or a mountain in the traditional sense, but rather a small rise in an otherwise flat landscape. It is situated near the village of Pampisford, approximately 10 miles southeast of Cambridge.

Rising to a modest elevation of around 50 feet, Edics Hill offers a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. It is primarily composed of chalk and forms part of the Chalk Beds geological formation, which stretches across several counties in eastern England.

The area surrounding Edics Hill is predominantly agricultural, with fields of crops and pastureland extending as far as the eye can see. The hill itself is covered in a patchwork of grasses and wildflowers, providing a habitat for various flora and fauna.

Given its modest height, Edics Hill is a popular destination for local walkers and hikers. Its position on the outskirts of Pampisford makes it easily accessible, and it is often included in walking routes in the area. A footpath leads visitors to the top of the hill, where they can enjoy the expansive views and take in the peaceful atmosphere.

While not a well-known landmark on a national scale, Edics Hill holds value for the local community and nature enthusiasts who appreciate its subtle beauty and the opportunity it provides for leisurely outdoor activities.
