Great Chishill and Little Chishill are neighbouring villages and a single civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England. Perched on rolling chalk countryside close to the county boundary with Essex, the area includes one of the highest points in the county and retains a distinctly rural feel, with stone and flint cottages, a parish church and a compact village green.
The local economy remains rooted in farming alongside a growing number of residents who commute to Cambridge and beyond, while community life centres on a village hall, a pub and occasional local events. The landscape offers pleasant walks and wide views across the Cambridgeshire–Essex border, and the parish’s historic buildings and lanes give it a timeless, well‑preserved character.
