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.

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.
