Rowley's Hill

Hill in Cambridgeshire, England

Rowley's Hill is a hill in Cambridgeshire, near the villages of Harston and Newton.[2] Although of only moderate height (51 m (167 ft)), it has a relatively large prominence of 31 m (102 ft) due to it being surrounded on all sides by a 'moat' of much lower land.[1] It therefore stands separate from the other hills in the region and has a distinctive appearance.
