Tips from the Community

RichardB
April 17, 2025, Babraham Ford and Footbridge

P.S. The land owner/farmer has obviously had problems with unauthorised vehicles using this track, because there are now large hay bales installed either side of the ford and in front of nearby farm gates. Access across the stream via the adjacent footbridge is still possible, but don't be disappointed if you wanted to take a run through the ford. P.P.S. The hay bales have now been removed from the ford!

This is a great off-road climb, steep in parts, and unlike some photos not at all wet in peak summer.

Yes, I can vouch for that: a great cycle route between Babraham and Stapleford all year round, although the ford is somewhat deeper in the winter!
