Overview

We will follow the tow path along the Cam River past the confluence with Great Ouse at Pope's Corner enjoying views across the fens and, as we approach Ely, the spires of the Cathedral. Birdlife abounds in the waterways and wetlands . The path is flat, but can be overgrown in places with  muddy stretches after rains. There will be a short tea stop plus a lunch break.
