The bridleway arounfd the wood is fairly open so passable all year but bumpy and swampy in places after lots of rain. Good long off road sections though.

There're nice, wide views along this quiet bridleway. In dry summer conditions, the surface was a washboard at times but rideable on a gravel bike without suspension. The westmost stretch before Conington leads through sheep pastures, which were splattered with droppings.

From the St Neots Rd, this seems to be the only accessible route toward the back of Knapwell Wood. However, prepare for mud and overgrowth and some hike-a-(gravel)bike.

Not very visible from the road, hidden behind a tall brick wall. You can peep through the old gateway or else from the driveway at the far left of the wall.

Our first destination, which stands out from the monotony of the field landscape, is the large Childerley Farm with the attractive Childerley Hall mansion; facing north we cross the farm area to then turn west again Knapwell, via a dirt track called Theofare Lane.

The Three Shires Way circles Grafham Water at the end of its journey from Buckinghamshire. The extra loop was added to bring the total distance of the long-distance path to 49 miles. It is waymarked by a sign showing three interconnected horseshoes.
