Bridge with a chapel

bewautiful view and car free in-part.

Parking is £2. There is a portaloo and a bin in the carpark. This hike was limited in what you could see, in August the trees and weeds blocked most of the view. For safety note that the pathway takes the narrow road that cars are entering and exiting. There are two crossings over the guided path where the buses are traveling at speed. The first part of the walk by the Ouse was lovely as was the last part on a field where you ton off by the weight limited bridge. I would imagine in winter the path would be a mush pit.

The bus whizzes through the yellow grain landscape like oiled lightning. The intercity bus from Cambridge to St Ivy rolls over a special lane bus track and reaches an impressive speed. Today he transports the four of us to the "Fen Drayton Lakes Nature Reserve", in the lake landscape we hike and do "birdwatching". “Fen Drayton Lakes was originally a flooded sand and gravel pit bordering river floodplains. Today the area is a magnet for a variety of wildlife including otters, dragonflies, ducks, swans and geese. There is something to see (and hear) here all year round.” (https://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/fen-drayton-lakes/)

It's also a bridleway so watch out for occasional piles of horse shit.

Like many nature reserves in England, Godmanchester Nature Reserve was once gravel pits. The peaceful nature could not be further away from its industrial history. Keep an eye out for songbirds, ducks, geese, kingfishers and overwintering wildfowl as you run through.

A mill has stood here for nearly 1000 years. Houghton Mill is the final working watermill on the River Great Ouse. The mill is in the care of the National Trust and is open to the public (entrance fee applies). Please see their website for more details https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/cambridgeshire/houghton-mill-and-waterclose-meadows

Part of the RSPB Nature Reserve, Far Fen Lake is recognisable by the island near its eastern shore.

St Ives Bridge is a 15th-century bridge crossing the River Great Ouse. It is noted for being one of only four bridges in England to incorporate a chapel, the monks never being one to miss an opportunity to make money, the chapel doubled up as a toll-house. Safe passage is no longer charged for on this bridge.

The path through the mill connects you across the Great Ouse between Houghton and the Hemingfords but it’s a National Trust property and is often busy with visitors so you might need to inch along patiently.

Medieval bridge with chapel in the middle. Motorised traffic is limited to emergency and delivery vehicles.

We often stay in a hotel in Bar Hill and use this cycleway to head NW or SE on a good surface with no traffic. It provides a fast link to more interesting lanes further out. It must be fabulous for safe commuting.

Scenic view of the old bridge over the Ouse.

Godmanchester Nature Reserve is a superb place for a walk, not far from the market town of Huntingdon. As with many other reserves along the Great River Ouse, it occupies the site of a former gravel pit and comprises four lakes with areas of grassland and hedgerows. As well as songbirds, ducks, geese, kingfishers and overwintering wildfowl, the reserve is also notable for its Roman heritage. Roman Lake was the site of a Roman well, discovered during quarrying work in the 1980s.

Beautiful traffic-free bridge on the edge of the Fens

Well away from the traffic, big kerbs to keep the buses away and wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists to not get tangled up together. Oh and very very flat for miles

Nice flat for a mind cleaner. Lack of traffic and climbs, can be a bit boring but can work on your cadence!

Super flat so great for training. Seems like it's always windy one way

Fast and car-free connection from Cambridge to St Ives - flat and easy.
