Exceptional place, very close to Cambridge, with a convenient access for example by bike. I visited it when it was rather cloudy so I am looking forward to coming there once again, but during a golden hour! One remark: be careful when stepping on the chalk, it is extremely slippery, especially when it's wet.

Nice day out for the kids. Educational as they get to learn a bit of history about the place and can go fossil hunting. Kids do get very messy though. No parking on site so only accessible by bike or walking although there is a small residential car park nearby.

Having lived nearby on and off for over 50 years this is a special place, I remember when the cement works was operating on Colhams lane and they brought the chalk from here. Left now to nature its good for a walk or exhilarating mountain bike experience!

Nice small walk around the area. The place is quite peaceful and serene. Could have a few benches to sit and absorb the beauty of the place. We have been coming around this area for so many years but explored this walk this time round only.
