フリルフォードでののおすすめランニングルート

Can be slippery and deep, wouldn't want to do this in winter.

Bikes need to be carried over the hump-back bridge. The track on either side is single-track. Cyclable with care although technically it's footpath.

Temporarily closed, so you can’t’t go in a loop, but you can continue path through wooden bridge. Lock is in the centre of a triangle formed by the small villages of Shifford, Duxford and Chimney. It is at the start of a navigation cut built with the lock by the Thames Conservancy in 1898.

In autumn/winter months when this crossing can be dangerously deep take a footpath along the Thames which will allow you to cross via a footbridge and thereby gain access to the other side of this ford. It's quite fun!

Nice little cafe, good selection of the usual foods and drinks, benches opposite of you want to sit outside.

A bridleway crosses the River Thames at Duxford Ford. When river levels are low the ford is passable (Google has photos), but in April 2022 it was blocked by a large fallen tree and the river was flowing deep and swift. You may need to retrace your route. There's work in progress to restore the wetlands in this area - see https://www.bbowt.org.uk/chimney-meadows-wetland-restoration-and-fish-passage-project and scroll down for pictures of the ford.

This is well-surfaced, I felt comfortable doing it on my road bike. I can't think of any other good ways to cross this A-road - it's quite busy so it does not make pleasant cycling. For some reason, when planning routes, I have to really "convince" Komoot to take this route, but it's definitely worth it.
