Tips from the Community
Start at Willingham, Pound Lane/Furtherford/Middle Way or Hither Way/Cuckoo Drove/Long Drove/Brownshill Lock/along Gt Ouse riverbank to Earith, or find Public Byway alongside - Hanson's 'belt thingy' Quarry outer perimeter to Needingworth/Holywell/St Ives - nice off Rd Gravel/MTB adventure. It's all easily cyclable in dry season (not so sure in the wet, winter months).

Despite much of the village being destroyed during a devastating fire in 1844, some of Colne's 17th- and 16th-century houses survived, retaining the village's olde worlde charm. You will find the Green Man pub at the junction of Bluntisham Road, High Street and East Street. It has a large beer garden, children's play area and restaurant. Home cooked food is served throughout the establishment.

Situated on the River Great Ouse, the village of Earith is a picturesque place. As with much of the region, remnants of the Second World War can be spotted in the surrounding land. Earith's waterside is particularly lovely, with a pretty marina and the Original Crown Pub, which serves standard pub fayre. The nearby RSPB Hanson Ouse Fen Nature Reserve is the site of an ambitious project to create the largest reed bed in the UK, creating a wetland habitat the size of 980 football pitches.

Nice path but if you're going at speed you're better off sticking to the road.

if you like getting on and off your bike, pushing it up and down steps and opening and closing gates this is the spot for you! π

Very quiet road/path over gravel and potholes galore. In bad weather this can create a lot of huge puddles. Would recommend off road tyres only but it's a nice and quiet path around the back of fishing lakes

This is the site of an ambitious project, a partnership between the RSPB and Hanson to transform a working sand and gravel quarry into a thriving nature reserve. When it is complete, it will boast the largest reed bed in the UK. It is hoped that by 2030, the expanse of wetland habitat will cover the area of 980 football pitches. The site is already seeing some great success stories, such as a breeding pair of European cranes.
