The route is part of the National Cycle Network and visits some of the highlights of the area including the pretty lakes at Ferry Meadows Country Park and a riverside section along the River Nene. On the way you'll also pass through Werrington, Woodston, Glinton, Marholm and Etton. There's a good mixture of on road and traffic free paths on the fairly easy 20 mile route. Much of it is fine for walkers too.
