The walk takes a meandering start through Cherry Hinton before breaking out into the countryside. As we ascend towards Wandlebury, there are opportunities to look back over the carbuncular pot pourri of architecture at Addenbrookes. On reaching the site of the former fort, there should be a view of Ely Cathedral, weather permitting.
On leaving Wandlebury, we follow the Roman Road for a short stretch before heading towards Fulbourn Fen, a scenic backdoor for the eponymous village. We have a pub stop in Fulbourn at the Six Bells. There is also an option to take a bus back to the city centre from here for anyone who wishes to cut the walk short.
The final leg takes us under the watchful gaze of the Fulbourn Windmill as we return to Cherry Hinton, passing through the park and back to our starting point.
Meet in the car park at Cherry Hinton Hall Park (CB1 8DW) at 10:00 for a 10:15 start. If coming from the city centre, the 09:42 Citi 3 from Emmanuel Street arrives at Derwent Close at 10:00 (it's the second stop after Kwik-Fit on the left).
Please bring a packed lunch and something to drink. We pass a farm shop on the approach to Wandlebury but we won't have time for a prolonged visit.
Weather can be variable, so please bring a hat, sunscreen, water and of course waterproofs !
