Cherry Hinton Brook and Snakey Path Walk
This circular walk takes you along the Cherry Hinton Brook in Cambridge.
The area is located on the eastern side of the city and includes paved trails along the pretty brook and past a series of lakes. There's also Cherry Hinton Hall which includes a nice park which hosts the annual Cambridge Folk Festival.
You can continue your walking in the area on the Cambridge Backs Walk which will take you around the famous university buildings. To the east you could pick up the circular Fulbourn Fen Walk and enjoy some easy waterside paths.

Cherry Hinton Brook. Snakey path heads west beside the brook until it reaches Burnside, which leads to Mill Road, and the path then continues on to the Sainsbury's site. Raised about 3' (1m) above water level the path is frequently used by cyclists and walkers. On the north side of the Brook two of the flooded chalk pits are clearly visible. Many of the paths are suitable for cyclists.

The Giant's Grave. Another path, known as "The Tins", runs on the north side of the flooded chalk pits. It starts in Railway Street, cutting across Orchard Estate (where few houses still have the corrugated iron fences that give this path its name). Passing in front of David Lloyd, the Holiday Inn and Norman Way it then passes over the railway on an old iron footbridge, which may be replaced with a new one under cycle path proposals by the city council. On the right it passes the Territorial Army centre and then meets Burnside somewhat closer to Mill Road than Snakey path, at the White Bridge
