Overview

A pleasant walk, largely along quiet country lanes or in open countryside, and passing through pretty  villages such as Duxford, Ickleton, Wendens Ambo and Newport. The route is initially flat but rises to 400ft in the middle part of the walk. There are fine views from Coploe Hill over the Cam valley and later over the rolling hills of the Cambridgeshire/Essex border. A final descent will bring us down to Newport station for the end of the walk.
