オーキントン＆ウェストウィック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

Cycleway - Long Ln/Wilson's rd, Longstanton <to> Huntingdon rd (A1307) - single track/tarmac/single track - before bridge & compact gravel the last stretch (opposite in reverse). Nice shortcut if you're forced to change your route plans due to headwinds 🌬🚴‍♂️🤔.

Long Ln/Wilson's rd, Longstanton/Huntingdon rd (A1307) Cycleway - New Bridge open - single track/tarmac/single track before bridge & compact gravel the last stretch (opposite in reverse).

Smooth shortcut if you find yourself forced to change direction because of strong wsw headwinds 🌬🚴‍♂️🙂

Fabulous coffee, breakfasts and assortment of home made cakes!

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.
