A nice morning's ride around the villages Southeast of Cambridge. Some areas to the South are surprisingly hilly (at least to someone used to Cambridge landscapes).

Punti salienti del percorso

Punti di interesse lungo il percorso

  1. Punto di interesse dopo 2,9 km

    The Roman Road is passable on my road bike, but I have cyclocross wheels and 28mm tyres. Delicate racing bikes would probably be a struggle along here. The road from Fulbourn to Balsham is a good alternative, though it tends to be quite fast.

  2. Punto di interesse dopo 4,8 km

    For a shorter route, leave the Roman Road here and head out through Babraham.

  3. Punto di interesse dopo 7,9 km

    The Roman Road starts to get rough from here onwards. I would recommend it for mountain bikes, but next time I will try the fork that goes off to the South.

  4. Punto di interesse dopo 14,8 km

    This road crossing was on a map fold and I was quite surprised when I encountered it. Just follow the signs for Bartlow and the route is clear.

  5. Punto di interesse dopo 26,6 km

    Navigating Saffron Walden by bicycle was not easy. The signposts only seem to incidate internal landmarks, and don't mention surrounding villages. I got lost for some time in Saffron Walden! It's also quite hilly, and the traffic was very busy when I went through. Next time I will try to go around it, but no roads stood out when I planned the route.

  6. Punto di interesse dopo 32,6 km

    The turning onto NCN11 is not obvious! When I joined it, the sign indicated the road into Littlebury Green, but there was no sign indicating the route in the opposite direction.

  7. Punto di interesse dopo 35,2 km

    This road is really lovely! It's a single-track road with hardly any traffic and some lovely views. I passed one car on the way, plus a couple of parked cars which were probably there for the Icknield way footpath, which crosses this road.

  8. Punto di interesse dopo 38,8 km

    NCN11 is really not well signposted. Most of the signs are hidden behind trees, or on signposts that you can't see until you're almost going past the turning. I had to make several sudden direction changes (which would have been dangerous in traffic) and I would surely have lost the route if I wasn't following a map. NCN11 is also not particularly direct and involves a lot of junctions, so I'd ignore it if you want to go fast or cover lots of ground. Finally, note that NCN11 seems to have moved since my Ordnance Survey map was printed. The OpenStreetMap data seems to match what I've seen on the roads (as at spring 2012).

  9. Punto di interesse dopo 43 km

    Only cycles can cross this junction. Other traffic must turn left and turn around at the roundabout. However, the cycle-specific signing is much less visible than the normal traffic signing.

  10. Punto di interesse dopo 44,6 km

    You have to ride through a church yard along here somewhere. The sign says that it's not really a right of way for cycles, but that the church wardens kindly allow NCN11 to pass through here.

  11. Punto di interesse dopo 45,7 km

    This railway crossing is really slow.

  12. Punto di interesse dopo 52,7 km

    I think it would be more pleasant to join the Busway Cycleway this way, rather than trying to join it at the start.

  13. Punto di interesse dopo 55,9 km

    It is hard to find the entrance to the Busway Cycleway. You need to go through the Park & Ride car park to get there. It's a bit of a muddle and there are some strange crossings to contend with.

  14. Punto di interesse dopo 59,7 km

    I meant to use the cycle bridge and back roads that run approximately parallel to Mill Road, as Mill Road can get quite busy. However, I missed the turning. Mill Road wasn't actually that bad anyway, and it's certainly more direct.

  15. Punto di interesse dopo 61,8 km

    This path is wider than the route I took, and is probably more suitable, but I like a bit of variation so I took the lower route this time. Either could work.
