Cambridge to St Ives Guided Busway Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a former rail line, converted to a guided bus lane i.e. closed to traffic except buses, which are kept to their concrete "rail tracks". The cycle lane runs parallel, going through pleasant countryside and picturesque villages. Safe for families and segments alike & an easy way out of Cambridge.

Tom's Cakes

Highlight • Cafe

A cake paradise. Handily situated near the end of the Busway cycle route. Often busy so avoid peak times if you don't want to queue.

St Ives Bridge and Chapel

Highlight • Bridge

St Ives Bridge is a 15th-century bridge crossing the River Great Ouse. It is noted for being one of only four bridges in England to incorporate a chapel, the monks never being one to miss an opportunity to make money, the chapel doubled up as a toll-house. Safe passage is no longer charged for on this bridge.

The Nook Café

Highlight • Cafe

Current opening times are 10-2pm. Very friendly though: even though I got there at 2:45, the door was still open and they sold me a cold drink and topped up my water bottle.

Cambridge Guided Busway Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Please bear in mind the busway is not lit - you'll need to ensure you have lights as there's very little 'surrounding illumination' to see if you're riding the busway at night
