チャタリス周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A really interesting way of public transport. Busses that are guided in a kind of sunk rail and just are able to drive along this way. There's a very good cycling path along this guided bus lane. This is the section I travelled along, the whole guided bus lane is even longer since it continues to the southeast till Cambridge.

Ramsey Abbey, nice historic area with good cake shops near by

Parking is £2. There is a portaloo and a bin in the carpark. This hike was limited in what you could see, in August the trees and weeds blocked most of the view. For safety note that the pathway takes the narrow road that cars are entering and exiting. There are two crossings over the guided path where the buses are traveling at speed. The first part of the walk by the Ouse was lovely as was the last part on a field where you ton off by the weight limited bridge. I would imagine in winter the path would be a mush pit.

The bus whizzes through the yellow grain landscape like oiled lightning. The intercity bus from Cambridge to St Ivy rolls over a special lane bus track and reaches an impressive speed. Today he transports the four of us to the "Fen Drayton Lakes Nature Reserve", in the lake landscape we hike and do "birdwatching". “Fen Drayton Lakes was originally a flooded sand and gravel pit bordering river floodplains. Today the area is a magnet for a variety of wildlife including otters, dragonflies, ducks, swans and geese. There is something to see (and hear) here all year round.” (https://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/fen-drayton-lakes/)

It's also a bridleway so watch out for occasional piles of horse shit.

Part of the RSPB Nature Reserve, Far Fen Lake is recognisable by the island near its eastern shore.

Another of the endless straights found in the fens. Fortunately the average speed cameras keep the traffic from flying past too fast although the HGVs produce a heck of a gust.

The picturesque ruined gatehouse is all that’s left of what was one of the great religious houses in the country. Lovely setting.
