Overview

From Grantchester we will take a bridleway towards Barton before picking up a footpath to Coton Country Park. Passing through a small wood, then passing dog kennels and the rifle range we climb up to a viewing point on the edge of the Country Park where we will pause to look over Cambridge. We will  follow paths further into the Park to our coffee stop at the barn or if the weather is good slightly further on at the picnic benches.  After the coffee break we will then follow other paths around the park before picking up the footpath back to Grantchester.
