ロングスタントンでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Tarmacked bridleway that provides a useful shortcut. Watch out for the piles of horseshit though.

Quiet stretch between Oakington and Longstanton

Enjoy a stroll through this pleasant little woodland walkway hidden behind the hamlet of Rampton.

The village of Longstanton developed greatly alongside the opening of RAF Oakington in 1940, which caused great demand for housing. This caused Longstanton to triple in size. Today the RAF base is no more and a new town, Northstowe, is set to dominate much of the land it was built on.

Northstowe didn't exisit until recently. The first families moved in during 2017 and by 2040 it is expected to be a modern and sustainable town housing 24,000 people. There are plenty of greenspaces, such as the ponds, trails and parkland at Northstowe Water Park. The whole town is built on the site of the former barracks of RAF Oakington, an airfield that played a crucial role during the Second World War. The Pathfinder Long Distance Trail, which honours the memory of the region's brave pilots, passes by the new town.

The Cambridgeshire village of Oakington has much to interest historians. From unearthed hand axes that hint at a Paleaolithic settlement and Roman pottery shards found in the surrounding land, to the discovery of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery and as the site of an Allied airbase in the Second World War, it's certainly seen more than its fair share of history. Today, the former RAF base's remnants are evidenced in the farmland around the village, while the main site has been earmarked for modern residential development. The village is on the route of the Pathfinder Long Distance Walk; walkers can find sustenance at the White Horse, which serves good pub grub.

Lots of wildlife in this area. Crested grebes and white storks all over to name a few of the birds in this area.

Little unmanned fruit and veg stall on someone's drive way. Has strawberries and raspberries in the summer but also courgettes, peppers, potatoes, lettuce etc. Bring change or big panniers as it's cash only (obviously)
