We are the Cambridge Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The walk leaves Newmarket railway station car park at 10.15. We will walk through the bustling town, pausing in the forecourt of the National Horse Racing Museum for a lavatory stop and to admire the statue of champion racehorse Frankel. We then proceed along the Bury Road, admiring the horses as they walk to their training grounds, take a grassy footpath past the British Racing School and then a quiet road to the village of Snailwell.
The lunch stop will be at one of Snailwell's village greens where there is a bus shelter for those with sandwiches or a nearby pub, the George and Dragon, serving food and hot drinks. In the afternoon we follow a bridleway back to Newmarket and the railway station. There are plenty of pubs and cafés in the town for those who wish to linger.
