ダックスフォードのおすすめライド

ケンブリッジから抜け出すのに最適なサイクリングロードです。ウィトルズフォードの教会墓地を抜ける非常に短い砂利道の区間を除き、すべて舗装されています。あまり広くないので、他の利用者にも注意してください。月曜日の午前中に走りましたが、ほとんど誰もいませんでした。混雑時はどうなるかわかりません。

Elmdonへ向かう心地よい登り、より起伏のある地形へ。登りは全体的にほぼ一定で、過度に挑戦的な急勾配はありません。

Passes under the railway line and motorway between Catmere End and Audley End.

Radio interferometry started in the mid-1940s on the outskirts of Cambridge, but with funding from the Science Research Council and a corporate donation of £100,000 from Mullard Limited, a leading commercial manufacturer of thermionic valves. Construction of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory commenced at Lords Bridge Air Ammunition Park,[1] a few kilometres to the west of Cambridge. The observatory was founded under Martin Ryle of the Radio-Astronomy Group of the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge and was opened by Sir Edward Victor Appleton on 25 July 1957. This group is now known as the Cavendish Astrophysics Group. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullard_Radio_Astronomy_Observatory)

Great place for a break with a good assortment of sandwiches and cakes as well as farm produce. Plenty of seating outside if the weather is good.

A completely different kind of travelling station, although it probably had a different intention when it was established in the late 19th century. https://www.theorchardteagarden.co.uk
