Kedington Hill is a prominent landmark located in the county of Suffolk, England. This hill, also known as Kedington Tump, is situated near the village of Kedington and is part of the rolling landscape of the Suffolk countryside. Despite being referred to as a hill, it is more accurately described as a small, rounded rise in the terrain rather than a mountain.

At an elevation of approximately 97 meters (318 feet), Kedington Hill offers picturesque views of the surrounding area, including the nearby villages of Kedington, Hundon, and Little Wratting. The hill itself is covered in lush greenery, with fields and farmland extending outwards in every direction. It is a popular spot for walkers and hikers, who often take advantage of the various footpaths and trails that crisscross the area.

Kedington Hill has historical significance as well. It is believed to have been used as a burial mound during the Iron Age, with archaeological evidence supporting this theory. The hill also holds remnants of an ancient chapel that once stood on its slopes, adding to its historical allure.

While not a particularly large or imposing feature, Kedington Hill holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Its gentle slopes, scenic views, and historical significance make it a charming destination for those seeking a tranquil escape in the Suffolk countryside.
