Burwell, Busway, Ely circular
Mostly on cycle paths plus a few minor roads, and the bridleway from Willingham to Aldreth (bumpy, but worth it!)
Note that the Busway cycle path is closed in several places and completely blocked beyond Longstanton. Seek current advice.

Superb circular hike from Fuenteheridos
Stunning hike through the cork oak and strawberry tree forests to the ridge overlooking the village of Alájar. Eagles and vultures soar in the skies above the ridge. You could easily drop down into the village if desired.
Mostly on easy to follow hiking trails with some very short bits…
