Quiet riverside road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Road that parallels the main A10 between Littleport and Downham Market but on the other side of the river, so virtually traffic free.

Flat Straight Fenland Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Such flat straight roads along here, I’ve never seen anything like this. Watch for headwinds though. Good place to just get your head down and pedal for miles. Loved it😍

Ouse Washes Wetland (Norfolk–Cambridgeshire border)

Highlight • Natural

The Ouse Washes is a SSSI and an internationally important wetland habitat. Stretching from St Ives to Downham Market it serves as a flood storage area and is often under water in the winter. My dad tells tales of nearly being washed away crossing in the car, back in the day! Some areas of the Washes are managed by the RSPB.

View of Ely Cathedral from the Fenlands

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The city is so small that within minutes of being outside the cathedral, you're in the beautiful flatlands of Cambridgeshire with great views everywhere you look.
