Three Villages Virtual Walk 3
|
Continuing along the path there are beautiful views of the river and meadows opposite. There are benches to sit on to admire the view or simply take a rest. It is also a quiet stretch of the river where boats often moor. The path then veers away from the river towards the village, crossing a field and then between the houses. There are a number of kissing gates along this stretch - approximately one every 200m or so! After about 800m the path leads you into the vilage of Hemingford Abbots. Continue right along the road past the square and the Axe and Compass Pub. |

Continue along the road in a westerly direction passing a road to left signposted A14. After 300m you pass River lane on the right, continuing straight. About 800m past the Axe and Compass you come to Meadow Lane on the right. Turn right following the footpath signs down the lane towards the river. At the end of the lane the footpath continues over Black Bridge and then across a ridge formed by the dismantled St Ives to Huntingdon railway. Cross the meadow staying on the footpath. In winter this meadow forms part of the river Great Ouse floodplain and it may be flooded. |
