Cycling to and from Newton

Two cyclists, one with serious kit, the other with a camera, are about to pass on the bridleway which links Newton and Stapleford. It was a hot Sunday morning during the heatwave of autumn 2011.

Bridle path and motorway bridge

The bridge carries the Newton-Stapleford bridleway and was built with farm vehicles in mind. The sign gives early warning of Trumpington Park & Ride, near the next turn-off, Junction 11.

Cycle path bridges

The path from Whittlesford to Sawston is part of National Cycle Network Route 11. The nearer bridge crosses a drainage ditch, the further one the Granta, the eastern stem of the River Cam.

The River Cam (or Granta) near Sawston

The two branches of the Cam join a couple of miles north of here, near Trumpington. There is no public access to the river below the cycle bridge from the side of which this picture was taken as the land is owned by Spicer's, the stationery manufacturers, whose factories are beyond the trees on the right.
