Gog Magog Downs

The Gog Magog Downs (also known as the Gog Magog Hills or simply the Gogs) are a range of low chalk hills extending for several miles to the southeast of Cambridge. The highest points are a point labelled on Ordnance Survey 1:25000 maps as "Telegraph Clump" – Grid reference: TL495538 at 75m, and Little Trees Hill and Wandlebury Hill, both at 74m/243ft. The area is undefined but is roughly the elevated area lying north west of the 41m col at Worsted Lodge – Grid reference: TL528519.

Unlike the nearby hills of the Newmarket Ridge, which have steep sides but very flat tops, these hills have large drops between summits and as such have quite a distinctive appearance; Little Trees Hill looks particularly good from Sawston Head. The hills therefore have relatively high topographic prominence.

Other tops include: Limepit Hill 56m (507 551) — Mag's Hill (506 542) — Copley Hill (509 531) — Meggs Hill (513 524) — Fox Hill (480 531) — Clarke's Hill (472 534) — White Hill (466 538).
