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

Fast gravel with the odd dog walker

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.

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.

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.

A bridleway crosses the River Thames at Duxford Ford. When river levels are low the ford is passable (Google has photos), but in April 2022 it was blocked by a large fallen tree and the river was flowing deep and swift. You may need to retrace your route. There's work in progress to restore the wetlands in this area - see https://www.bbowt.org.uk/chimney-meadows-wetland-restoration-and-fish-passage-project and scroll down for pictures of the ford.
