Description

The length of this walk is balanced by the lack of ascent. The route makes its way across the Cambridgeshire countryside, then locks onto the arrow-straight southern avenue to Wimpole Hall (National Trust — all the usual NT facilities and a home farm besides). The return is similar to the start, ending up going through the middle of Meldreth with its refreshment options before reaching the station.
