Three Villages Virtual Walk 4
|
Having crossed the meadow you will come to a gate and a footbridge across the river at the Houghton lock. The Ouse Valley Way footpath to the left leads to Godmanchester. Cross the river and follow the path around to Houghton Mill. If it is open pause to have a look around. Leaving the Mill turn left and then right walking up the lane towards the Houghton village square. Pass St Mary's Church on the left. There are several pubs and tearooms in Houghton-Wyton where you can get refreshments and food. At this stage you have completed just over half the distance, so it may be a good opportunity to stop for a drink or a bite to eat. |

Turn right off the square down the lane, heading East, past the antiques shop. Stay on the road ignoring the various footpath signs branching off it. After about 400m the road bears left and a footpath to the right. Stay on the road. After another 400m there is a kink in the lane. Stay on the road and as it crosses a brook continuing past small holdings on the left and meadows on the right. This is one end of the thicket path linking Houghton-Wyton with St Ives. Although this is still a road it is becoming ever narrower. |
