アストン、コート、シフォード、チムニーでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Can be slippery and deep, wouldn't want to do this in winter.

The bridge is wide and flat. On the north side is a good and smooth tarmac road towards Aston. On the other side, on Chimney Meadows "island", is a bridleway to the ford leading to Duxford and a path (cyclable but it's meant to be walked) leading to a hump-back bridge with steps. If cycling you'll need to carry your bike over that bridge.

Bikes need to be carried over the hump-back bridge. The track on either side is single-track. Cyclable with care although technically it's footpath.

Look up - wild bees hive is there! :)

Temporarily closed, so you can’t’t go in a loop, but you can continue path through wooden bridge. Lock is in the centre of a triangle formed by the small villages of Shifford, Duxford and Chimney. It is at the start of a navigation cut built with the lock by the Thames Conservancy in 1898.

It’s closed temporarily so you can’t go in a loop

In autumn/winter months when this crossing can be dangerously deep take a footpath along the Thames which will allow you to cross via a footbridge and thereby gain access to the other side of this ford. It's quite fun!

The attractive pheasant was introduced to Europe from Asia for hunting. It loves our local countryside, and eats a wide range of food including grain, worms, spiders and green shoots. It nests on the ground among thick vegetation laying 6-15 eggs which hatch after 23 days. The mosaic jokingly pairs the pheasant with its arch-enemy the fox in a permanent pas-de-deux.
