After following Bottisham Lode to the site of the former Lode Station, we trace the path of the long-gone Mildenhall line towards Quy. The walk then takes us through Teversham, skirting Cambridge Airport and bringing us to the edge of the city at the end of Mill Road. We finish with drinks at The Brook.
