Bridge with a chapel

Houghton Mill National Trust cafe. Outside seating NO toilets, tea expensive, limited menu. OK but better stops in Houghton and St Ives.

bewautiful view and car free in-part.

The runway has been decommissioned so no aircraft are based here, it’s now used as an intelligence base instead.

Start at Willingham, Pound Lane/Furtherford/Middle Way or Hither Way/Cuckoo Drove/Long Drove/Brownshill Lock/along Gt Ouse riverbank to Earith, or find Public Byway alongside - Hanson's 'belt thingy' Quarry outer perimeter to Needingworth/Holywell/St Ives - nice off Rd Gravel/MTB adventure. It's all easily cyclable in dry season (not so sure in the wet, winter months).

The Thicket is a narrow, steep bank of Ash and Field Maple woodland. There's a beautiful variety of flora to discover here such as Sweet violet and King Alfred's Cakes, and some wonderful bird species too, including the Green Woodpecker.

Wonderful friendly pub. Slightly pricey but great food.

A beautiful place for a run, just a short distance from St Ives. Houghton Meadows Nature Reserve combines ancient hay meadows with pasture fields. It is especially lovely in the spring and summer when the bright colours of wildflowers adorne the fields.

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).

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.

With its lovely church, green, hall, pretty stream and public house, Broughton is a classic English village. The Crown Inn serves good pub food between Wednesdays and Sundays, perfect for a refuel after a walk in Cambridgeshire's flat countryside.

RAF Wyton is a decommissioned airfield that's today occupied by the Joint Forces Intelligence Group. It was an important site during the Second World War, when it was the home of the Pathfinder Force, squadrons responsible for marking enemy targets using flares to aid the subsequent bombers' accuracy. The base is the official start point for the Pathfinder Long Distance Walk and the annual Pathfinder March. Both follow a 46-mile loop around the Cambridgeshire countryside. The March is held in honour of the memory of the RAF Pathfinder Force and the challenge is for entrants to complete the walk in less than 20 hours.

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.

Chocolate box village down a quiet, out of the way lane, with thatched cottages, nice pub etc.

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

Check NT web site for opening.

Scenic view of the old bridge over the Ouse.

if you like getting on and off your bike, pushing it up and down steps and opening and closing gates this is the spot for you! 😄

Not to be confused with Cornwall's St Ives, Cambridgeshire's St Ives is a historic market town on the River Great Ouse. It boasts an attractive quayside, where a definite Dutch influence can be seen in its architecture. Its most notable landmark is its intriguing 15th-century bridge, which is adorned by a chapel. Another unusual aspect is the shape of its southern arches, which are shaped differently to the others on the structure.
