Rivey Hill
Rivey Hill is a hill overlooking Linton in Cambridgeshire, England. At 367 ft it is the highest point for several miles around. The hill has a steep slope leading down to Linton and a prominence of 69 ft. The highest point is on private land but a bridleway from Linton crosses near the top. A water tower on the hill identifies it when seen from a distance. The tower is a grade II listed building, was built in 1935–1936 in Art Deco style, and underwent major restoration work in 2018–2019. The ascent of the hill is the start of a circular walk, detailed in Jarrold's Walks in Cambridgeshire, which goes north from the top to a Roman Road, follows this over the 312 ft Hildersham Hill for 2 mi, then descends to Hildersham and returns along the valley of the River Granta to Linton. Rivey Hill is also the highest point on a circular walk around Hadstock and Linton, described by The Hundred Parishes Society.
