Overview

Starting from the new and still expanding development of Northstowe, the walk skims along the edge of Longstanton to St Michael's church (C13th, one of only two thatched churches in Cambridgeshire), then follows a section of the old 'airfield road' before heading back to Northstowe past several man-made lakes.  Mainly good surfaces underfoot, though could be some short muddy sections following wet weather. 

Bring drink/snack for mid-morning break.

There are toilets at the Park & Ride waiting room when this is open.
