Overview

This circular walk takes in the two villages of Hinxton and Ickleton. We will spend some time exploring the historic buildings in Hinxton, visit two eleventh century churches (one of them Grade II listed), see the only remaining working mill on the River Cam and stroll through the Wetlands Nature Reserve in the Wellcome Genome Campus. 

We will stop for a mid-morning break at the Red Lion Pub in Hinxton (those not wishing to stop at the pub can instead explore nearby Hinxton church further).
