I stopped here for lunch. There’s some seating around a tree. I notices some water taps around the edge of the small woods, looking down at the run way beneath. Please take your rubbish with you.

A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

This is a long, straight off-road path with changing surfaces (gravel, singletrack) between Ashwell and Melbourn, which is part of the Icknield Way. It is not particularly scenic, but you can get that continuing westward toward Letchworth.
