Tips

August 15, 2023

Running

The River Cam joins is controlled at Bottisham Lock. The Fen Rivers Way trail runs on both sides, it's a great trail, easy underfoot for miles. Perfect place for a few miles where you relax and watch the wildlife.

Running

A nice stretch of towpath that runs alongside Waterbeach. It is only for foot traffic, as bikes are prohibited, so it makes for a calm walk or a great scenic part of a run.
