バックデン（ハンツ）での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

From here you can access the cycle/walking path along the top of the dam which gives great views up the length of Grafham Water.

The cycle path along the top of the dam is wide and flat and gives great views across the reservoir. Reach it from the Visitor Centre at the northern end although access at the southern end is trickier as you have to squeeze through a narrow gap next to a locked gate by the main road.

Large patio and beer garden easily accessed at the rear.

This is a beautiful bay situated on the shores of Grafham Water, not too far from St Neots in Huntingdonshire. The lake is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest and England's third biggest reservoir.

The valve tower at Grafham Lake homes the controls that operate the opening and closing of the gates/valves allowing the reservoir water to be correctly regulated. The tower was built in the 1960s and resembles something of a spaceship!

Good cafe usually busy but plenty of space for bikes and a playpark for youngsters. Great crazy golf course due to open May 2023.

Good and nice scenery for a hot coffee you can also have your bike repair and accessory purchases at the Rutland right there. Beautiful place for a visit also a lovely mountain bike trail
