DNA Path Rainbow Cycleway

Highlight • Cycleway

A decent cycle path that connects Shelford and surrounding villages to Addenbrookes and the city centre. Easy access to the Nine Wells wooded and stream area if you are looking …

17.8 km

The quieter of the two roads that drop down from Balsham towards Linton.

28.5 km

Smooth tarmac cycle path with inset lighting around the perimeter of the campus provides an off road route connecting Babraham High St and the Wandlebury cycle path avoiding the A1307.

32.2 km

Wandlebury Country Park

Highlight • Cycleway

Near the crest of the Gog Magog Hills just south of Cambridge. Fast traffic on the short dual carriageway section past Wandlebury but there is a shared cycle path if you prefer.

Top of the last short climb before the descent into Cambridge - spot the Addenbrookes' chimneys

DNA Pathway (Addenbrooke’s to Great Shelford)

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Connection between Biomedical Campus and Shelford with an unfolded gene on the path. Though the paint declines (nice analogly for DNA reading faults) still impressive if you think about the amount of information stored in this relatively small gene alone.
