Overview

A long and varied walk that takes in views of the racecourse and golf course, Swaffham Prior with its two parish churches side-by-side. In the afternoon there is a cafe stop in Horningsea before the final push into Cambridge along the riverside path. We make our way to the station for the train back to Newmarket.
