ベリー（ハンツ）の湖・トップ3

Tried to ride this in late April (2025) and the water levels were so high that you couldn't access the bridleway to get through. We could see there was a bridge for the footpath in the middle of the lakes but this was well under water and tipped sideways! We had to go back on ourselves (approached from the North on the March line) and took Short Drove and Parkhall Road down to Somersham.

Burnhams Mere was created when the area was cut for peat, resulting in this wildlife haven.

Despite being home to an important airfield during the Second World War, the village of Warboys' name actually has nothing to do with conflict. It's derived from Old Norse, translating as 'beacon with bushes'. The village has plenty of amenities for walkers, including a convenience store, pubs and a bakery.

The pleasant Cambridgeshire village of Somersham has plenty of greenspaces to explore, including a nature reserve and Somersham Pocket Park. In the village, there are a number of shops, eateries and a pub. Somersham Local Nature Reserve has developed around the disused railway line from Cambridge to March and includes a lake and areas of woodland, grassland and wildflower meadows.

Congratulations, you are at the lowest point in the UK, 3m below sea level. The top of the iron posts marks ground level when the fen was first drained in 1850. Since then they have been progressively exposed by the shrinking peat until the tops now stand 4m above modern ground level.

Stunningly beautiful nature reserve. Great for birdwatchers and for taking a break from cycling to get lost in nature.
