Houghton Mill

Highlight • Historical Site

This is the last remaining working watermill on the River Great Ouse. A mill has been here for nearly 1,000 years and is currently cared for by the National Trust. You have to be a member or pay to look around the building but it is well worth it as the hosts are very knowledgeable and helpful. The car park is £2.50 a day for non-members. 2025 - There is now a time limit for parking for members and I dont know what the situation/charges are for non members. I park in Godmanchester in the stree for free now and walk the circular walk via the mill.

Godmanchester Nature Reserve

Highlight • Historical Site

Godmanchester Nature Reserve is a superb place for a walk, not far from the market town of Huntingdon. As with many other reserves along the Great River Ouse, it occupies the site of a former gravel pit and comprises four lakes with areas of grassland and hedgerows.

As well as songbirds, ducks, geese, kingfishers and overwintering wildfowl, the reserve is also notable for its Roman heritage. Roman Lake was the site of a Roman well, discovered during quarrying work in the 1980s.
