We are the Cambridge Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This walk visits the lovely north Essex/east Cambridgeshire border area with rolling countryside, wide views and attractive villages. We will pass the fine windmill above Ashdon, unusual Roman tumuli near Bartlow, and hopefully some snowdrops and aconites along the way.
The 6 mile morning circuit goes via Steventon End and Bartlow; with optional 2.7 mile afternoon loop via Church End for those wanting a longer walk. There is a stile, and some sections likely to be muddy following wet weather.
Bring rations for morning coffee break, and for lunch if staying on for the afternoon loop.
Note: There are ongoing road works on the A1307 between Linton and Horseheath due to creation of new roundabout at the junction of A1307 with Bartlow Road; if traffic is heavy this could add some delay to travelling time.
Any queries about the walk please contact walk leader (Jean) - email: jemcamramblers@gmail.com
Car park off Radwinter Road in Ashdon, by kind permission of Ashdon Baptist Church. Please park in the front section which belongs to the church, avoiding the two named spaces which are reserved for private use. A small contribution towards cost to the church of car park upkeep would be appreciated. Walk leader's mobile (on the day only) 07837 008083.
