Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Six Mile Bottom

The tiny rural hamlet of Six Mile Bottom lies in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside, east of Cambridge, in the parish of Little Wilbraham. Its unusual name originates from the hamlet’s distance from the start of the Newmarket Racecourse and its location at the bottom of a valley. This peaceful community is little more than a scattering of historic homes strung along Wilbraham Road, London Road, and Brinkley Road. A post office and a small grocery are at the crossroads in the centre of Six Mile Bottom. Nearby, a stroll away from holiday cottages in Six Mile Bottom, is a graceful church. Enjoy idyllic walks through fields and woods in the hamlet’s unspoiled countryside. A visit to the neighbouring city of Cambridge, on the banks of the River Cam, is a must, with some of the country’s most impressive architecture. Wander through the Botanic Gardens while away an afternoon punting along the river, tour the magnificent university buildings, and explore the city centre’s many independent shops, including the renowned Heffer’s bookshop.
