Overview

We will walk towards Horningsea via the back of the Marleigh estate and a bridleway before joining the path down to the River Cam.  Once at the river we will take our coffee break at the reopened Bates Bite Lock.  Following the river Cam through a small woodland we arrive at Fen Ditton and then back to our start point.
