以上での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

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.

Start at Willingham, Pound Lane/Furtherford/Middle Way or Hither Way/Cuckoo Drove/Long Drove/Brownshill Lock/along Gt Ouse riverbank to Earith, or find Public Byway alongside - Hanson's 'belt thingy' Quarry outer perimeter to Needingworth/Holywell/St Ives - nice off Rd Gravel/MTB adventure. It's all easily cyclable in dry season (not so sure in the wet, winter months).

Lovely spot by the lake. Seating on picnic benches and an information area.

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/)

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

Fen Drayton lakes is a nature reverse run by the RSPB. There is a picnic area making it the perfect location for a mid ride rest stop.

The attractive village of Swavesey is wonderfully rural, with its old windmill and farmers' fields. Just a short walk from the Fen Drayton Lake Nature Reserve and with the Pathfinder Long Distance Walk passing close by, there's plenty to draw walkers to the area. The village has a good pub, the White Horse Inn, which serves great food.

Situated on the River Great Ouse, the village of Earith is a picturesque place. As with much of the region, remnants of the Second World War can be spotted in the surrounding land. Earith's waterside is particularly lovely, with a pretty marina and the Original Crown Pub, which serves standard pub fayre. The nearby RSPB Hanson Ouse Fen Nature Reserve is the site of an ambitious project to create the largest reed bed in the UK, creating a wetland habitat the size of 980 football pitches.
