finally the offical Stour Valley Path signs appear as well as this first overview

"The Devil's Dyke is one of the largest preserved Anglo-Saxon artworks in England. The massive bank and ditch stretch in a near straight line for 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) from Fen edge at reach, across the open chalk landscape near Newmarket, to the wooden slopes as Woodditton. The Dyke is best preserved at Gallows Hill near Burwell where it si 10.5 m (34 feet) high from the ditch bottom to the bank top."

The Devil's Dyke stretches from Reach to Woodditton through Newmarket. It is an 11km bank with a ditch on the south west side. In parts it is as high as 9m tall. It is thought to be Anglo-Saxon and a defense barrier.

Basefield Wood is the highest point on the Stour Valley Path long-distance trail, which follows the River Stour from its source near Newmarket to Cattawade on the Stour Estuary. Despite being 377 feet (115 m) above sea level, the flat landscape means that far reaching views are in short supply.

Devil's Dyke is a linear ditch that runs in a straight line for 7 miles (11 km) between the villages of Reach and Woodditton. It separates the fenland to the north from the hills to the south and is thought to have been created by the Anglo-Saxons. Keep an eye out for unusual plant species, such as purple milk-vetch and bastard toadflax. It features on the Stour Valley Path and is a hugely enjoyable section, boasting views to distant Ely Cathedral on clear days.
