Welcome to High Cross

High Cross is a small village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. The village is situated on the A10 road, which connects London to King's Lynn. High Cross is a rural area with a population of around 200 people. The village is surrounded by farmland and is known for its beautiful countryside views.

High Cross has a rich history dating back to the Roman times. The village was an important crossroads during the Roman era, connecting the towns of Cambridge, Royston, and St. Neots. The name High Cross comes from the ancient stone cross that once stood at the crossroads. The cross was destroyed during the English Civil War, and a new one was erected in the 19th century. Today, the cross is a popular landmark and a symbol of the village's history.

High Cross is a peaceful and quiet village, with a strong sense of community. The village has a primary school, a church, and a pub. The pub, called The Three Tuns, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The pub serves traditional English food and drinks and has a cozy atmosphere. High Cross is also a great place for outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, and fishing. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and has many scenic routes for walkers and cyclists.

Local Dog Walks

Chivers Lake
Nice Walk Around Lake, No On Lead Areas But Do Need To Be Careful Along Guided Busway Side As Fencing Is Poor. Not A Problem If Your Dog Has Good Recall. It's Perfect During Summer As It's Safe For Dogs To Swim. There Is A Large Field Next To The Holiday Inn Hotel Which You Can Get To From The Lake. Perfect For A Ball Game Or Game Of Chase With Other Dogs. My Dog Loves It There. Downside, People Do Not Always Clear Up Their Litter Which Is A Real Shame. 32 A14 Impington 2.14 miles

Milton Country Park Is A Popular Place For Dog Walkers. There Are Signs To Say Where Dogs Must Be Kept On Lead But There Also Areas Where Dogs Can Run Free.
