Overview

We will walk out from St Ives to the National Trust Houghton Mill waterwheel, around Godmanchester Nature Reserve, returning via Hemmingsford Abbots and a stop at the Axe and Compass pub. We will likely stop somewhere in the nature reserve or National Trust land to eat lunches. There are plenty of cafes in St Ives for anyone fancying a cake at the end.
