The small village of Nuthampstead is notable for being the home to an RAF base during the Second World War. The base was used by the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers, one of the War’s most iconic aircraft. The village is on the route of the Hertfordshire Way long-distance trail, which officially starts and ends in nearby Royston. If you're walking here, you can find sustenance and refreshment at the Woodman Inn.

Also known as Royston Heath, Therfield Heath is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a nature reserve on the chalk escarpment above the town of Royston. Trails here offer glorious views across the valley of the River Cam. The open ground here was a regular haunt of King James I, who would visit the region to hunt.

The last in a series of mile markers running from Great St Mary’s Church in Cambridge to Barkway, 16 miles away. These were erected in the 1730s, the first milestone series erected in England since the departure of the Romans. Most are still visible between Cambridge and Barkway if you know where to look.

Stop for a minute to appreciate it.

Great gravel tracks round here and a wonderful view to go with it.
