Overview

Please note that booking is essential for this walk, please use the email link to contact the walk leader to book a place.

This is an easy circular walk beside the Great Ouse River. It is a flat 10mile walk.

I could not identify any drop out points.

Transport: (St Pancras International 09.46) 9.53 from Finsbury Park arrives Huntingdon 10.50.

I will meet you on platform 7 at Finsbury Park.
Buy a cheap day return to Huntingdon. Please note: There is only 1 ladies toilet at Huntingdon.
This is a circular walk of 10 miles. The morning half is far less scenic that afternoon.  There is hardly any shade which might be tough for some in sunny weather.

Lunch is in the village of Houghton. I have booked 5 places, 3 remaining, at the Three Horsehoes pub.

Please contact me using the email link  if you want a pub lunch.

Houghton also has two cafes, Houghton Tea Room and the nearby National Trust cafe at Houghton Mill.

The afternoon is very green. We pass a nature reserve, water meadows and picturesque lakes. From Goodmanchester we approach Huntingdon via Portholme meadow. A Waterstones pub, Sandford House, is on route to the station.

Trains to London are at 10 and 40 minutes past the hour.
