St Ives Bridge and Chapel

St Ives Old Riverport

Highlight • Settlement

Plenty of footpaths around this historic town - long flat stretches as expected from Cambridgeshire

St Ives is a place to rest from a long ride and grab a bite. Most importantly, this is where the busway ends which is
the easiest way to return to Cambridge.

Current opening times are 10-2pm. Very friendly though: even though I got there at 2:45, the door was still open and they sold me a cold drink and topped up my water bottle.
