Overview

We organise on Meetup, please use the web-link below to let us know you are coming.

Meet in the car park at Cherry Hinton Hall Park (CB1 8DW, TL479563) at 9:00 for a 9:15 start.

The walk is an anticlockwise circuit of Cambridge, starting with the suburban greenery of Eastern Cambridge. After following the river to the colleges, we head south past the nuclear bunker and contemplate the carbuncopolitan contest between Addenbrookes and Trumpington Meadows. Skirting the greenery on the south side of Cambridge, we re-enter civilisation via Cherry Hinton and finish at the Robin Hood for drinks.

If coming from the city centre, the 8:42 Citi 3 from Emmanuel Street Stop E2 arrives at Derwent Close at 09:01 (it's the second stop after Kwik-Fit on the left).

I gather that the Car Park at Cherry Hinton Hall has recently started charging, the fee for up to 5hours is £5 (10am to 3pm), an app is required, https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/paying-to-park-with-justpark, and the car park ID is 16657. Considerate parking may be available in surrounding streets.

There are public toilets at Cherry Hinton hall.

Please remember to bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink on the walk.
