Rampton Park and Giant's Hill
Rampton Park and Giant's Hill. You are always welcome to visit and enjoy the walks around the park. There is a signposted walk around the woods which is about a mile and a quarter long - but do take sensible footware, especially when it is wet. Cambridgeshire Farms have requested that dogs should be kept on a lead, especially when young cattle are in the field. Please take care to close gates - especially when cattle are in the fields - and take home any litter. Dog litter bins have been installed at the two main entrances from the main road, so do collect and dog mess and leave it in the bins.
There are many wild animals and birds which have been sighted in the park and the moat around Giant's Hill. These have included Muntjac deer, foxes, rabbits and many species of birds. During the past few years herons, shags, cormorants, kingsfishers, woodpeckers and hawks have been sighted as well as many other varieties. Have you seen the ginger rabbits? Just be quiet and look carefully! They're about again.
During the summer various events are organized in the main fields to which locals and visitors are most welcome. Events have included archaeological walks, the annual horse show, and the recreation of an ancient village (by Regia Anglorum) - together with simulated battles and skirmishes !
