Dog & Duck Pub

Highlight • Other

This place looked nice. I didn't go in as used the nearby Linton Kitchen but that's excellent buy quite small so this is worth knowing about.

Rivey Hill Water Tower and Off-Road Climb

Highlight • Climb

Typically water-logged gravel track descent from the Linton Water tower on Rivey Hill to the village of Linton. Dries up a bit in the summer months, but you'll get your feet wet in the other seasons!

DNA Pathway (Addenbrooke’s to Great Shelford)

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Connection between Biomedical Campus and Shelford with an unfolded gene on the path. Though the paint declines (nice analogly for DNA reading faults) still impressive if you think about the amount of information stored in this relatively small gene alone.
