“Attractive site beside River Ouse and under same ownership for over 80 years” - AA Inspector
HEMINGFORD ABBOTS, CAMBRIDGESHIRE
Our Inspector's view
Quiet Waters is an attractive little site on the banks of the Great Ouse, and has been in the same family ownership for over 80 years. The A1307 is just a mile away, making this an ideal centre for touring Cambridgeshire. There are fishing opportunities, rowing boats for hire and many walks and cycling routes directly from the park. Holiday statics for hire. Seasonal pitches only.

About the area
Discover Cambridgeshire
To the west of East Anglia is Cambridgeshire, a county best known as the home to the university that makes up the second half of ‘Oxbridge’ (the other half is Oxford). As well as its globally renowned educational credentials, it also has a rich natural history; much of its area is made up of reclaimed or untouched fens. These are low-lying areas which are marshy and prone to flooding. The lowest point in the UK is at Holme Fen, which is some 9 feet (2.75 metres) below sea level. Some of the fens had been drained before, but it was in the 19th and 20th centuries that wide-spread, successful drainage took place, expanding the amount of arable and inhabitable land available.
Ely Cathedral was built on an island among the swampy fens, but now sits among acres of productive farmland, albeit farmland criss-crossed by miles of flood-preventing watercourses. Oliver Cromwell was born in Ely, and his family home can still be visited. Cambridge itself is a beautiful and historic city, with any number of impressive old buildings, churches and colleges, and plenty of chances to mess about on the River Cam which gave the city its name.
