スワビージーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Beautiful church - and a great bike path next to the guided bus line.

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.

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.

RSPB run nature reserve with some easy but fun gravel tracks around the edges. Lovely scenery and loads of wildlife to spot. Particularly nice at sunrise and sunset.

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.
