Bridge with a chapel

bewautiful view and car free in-part.

Not very visible from the road, hidden behind a tall brick wall. You can peep through the old gateway or else from the driveway at the far left of the wall.

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

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.

Buckden Towers, comprising the Great Tower, walls and grounds, are all that remains of Buckden Palace which dates from 1479. The site of the Palace is over 900 years old and was identified in the Domesday Book of 1086 as belonging to the Bishop of Lincoln. Historically, Buckden has played an unhappy role. Henry VIII's first wife Katherine of Aragon was locked up here for not producing a male heir. A few years after Katherine's death Henry, took his fifth wife, Catherine Howard there to escape the plague in London. However, it was during their stay at Buckden that Henry accused his new young wife of adultery with Thomas Culpeper, eventually leading to her execution. Buckden Towers are privately owned and have conference room and retreat facilities, self-catering apartments and a tea-room.

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.

I would agree with Dom. About 9 miles round the loop. Relatively challenging for an intermediate or beginner. Mixture of gravel, mud and road surfaces. Beautiful scenes of the reservoir. When hot, just expect swarms of midges in some parts of the track. Great to also have Rutland Cycling there too along with 2 coffee shops. Well worth going for the parking pass if you are considering regular visits, £50 a year.

Scenic view of the old bridge over the Ouse.

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!

Nice route around the resevoir, which has a few inclines on the NW side.

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.

There is a campsite next to the Mill, which might be handy if you are touring around the area.
