Grantchester Cycle Path
This largley traffic free path runs from Cambridge to the nearby village of Grantchester. It passes the lovely Grantchester Meadows, an idyllic spot next to the River Cam. Most of the route takes place on a flat surfaced path, ideal for families or anyone looking for a safe, easy ride.
The route starts in Cambridge city centre and heads south through Sheep's Green and Lammas Land. The area around Sheep's Green is a nature reserve with cows and sheep grazing next to the meandering river.
The route continues south past Skater's Meadow before coming to Grantchester village. Here you can enjoy a cream tea at the delightful Orchard Tea Room. It's an idyllic setting with outdoor seating amongst the fruit trees.
