Location - Great Chishill
Great Chishill is a picturesque English parish village situated in the southernmost tip of Cambridgeshire, tucked between the Hertfordshire village of Barley and the Essex village of Chrishall. It is also approximately 5 miles east of the popular market town of Royston, 15 miles from the famous city of Cambridge and approximately 8 miles west of the market town of Saffron Walden.

Great Chishill boasts many picturesque houses, a stunning mill dating back to 1592, and a lovely public house, The Pheasant, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere, traditional food, and a wide selection of fine wines and ales. Due to it being the highest pub in Cambridgeshire, The Pheasant also offers stunning views in every direction when sitting in the beer garden. There is also the church of St Swithun, founded in 1136 and built of flint and rubble, which also enjoys wonderful views and holds regular services and activities.

There are many clubs, societies and things to do in Great Chishill, including Great Chishill Cricket Club with youth section, the Great Chishill Cycle Club, bowls, bell ringing at St Swithun church, open gardens, and treasure hunts, competitions and quizzes, to name a few. Local schools include Chrishall Primary School, Saffron Walden County High School, Joyce Franklin Academy in Newport, Hert’s and Essex Girls School in Bishop’s Stortford.

The village’s proximity to Royston and Saffron Walden means that residents have access to the town’s many other amenities, such as the mainline train station offering regular fast services to both Cambridge and London Kings Cross from Royston and a fast train from Wendens Ambo to London Liverpool Street. The A1M and M11 are within a 15-minute drive via the A10/A505, and London Stansted and Luton Airports are both 30-minutes away.
