Walks
We can recommend four scenic walks around the parish, from a 30 minute tour suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs; up to a challenging 7 mile countryside adventure! Don’t forget to keep an eye out for hidden treasure!

Total confusion with the 75 to Cambridge at 11.34 on 5.9.13 and 9.34 on 6.9.13 – not to mention the advertised 1820 from Cambridge on 5.9.,13, which never showed up!
Sadly the confusion described by Donald Judge is not uncommon.
Bus services in rural areas of Cambridgeshire have been neglected to the point where they cannot be relied upon. We are a mere 6miles from the centre of one of the most economically successful cities in the UK, yet accessing that city is for most ordinary people an expensive challenge. A convenient, well defined and fully regulated service is desperately needed.
Until our elected representatives take this matter seriously, driving a car will be the only viable way to get around the area thereby perpetuating the traffic problems we know only too well.
There are at last some moves on the local bus changes, No75.
