Tips from the Community
Crosses over the trackbed of the old Oxbridge railway line. Real boneshaker of a surface on this lane. Take care, particularly if riding it downhill.

There’s also a memorial to the Canadian pathfinder bomber crews that flew from RAF Gransden Lodge, which was situated here, during the war.

Network of Byways - single track/farm tracks - connecting the villages Lt Gransden/Waresley/Hatley St George/East Hatlley and beyond - pleasant with fast sections (gravel/mtb 🚲).

"The 17th century windmill is owned by Cambridgeshire County Council and is the fifth oldest post mill in the country. The mill is a scheduled monument, one of 15 monuments owned by the County Council. Post mills are one of the earliest types of windmill and are based around a central pole, which meant they could be turned to catch the breeze." Something to enjoy 👀 - if it was working in a day like today with SW 🌬 @27 km/h would b efficient. (Not great for cycling, though).
