St Ives Town Centre

Highlight • Monument

St Ives is a place to rest from a long ride and grab a bite. Most importantly, this is where the busway ends which is
the easiest way to return to Cambridge.

St Ives Quayside and Bridge

Highlight • Settlement

Not to be confused with Cornwall's St Ives, Cambridgeshire's St Ives is a historic market town on the River Great Ouse. It boasts an attractive quayside, where a definite Dutch influence can be seen in its architecture.

Its most notable landmark is its intriguing 15th-century bridge, which is adorned by a chapel. Another unusual aspect is the shape of its southern arches, which are shaped differently to the others on the structure.

A cake paradise. Handily situated near the end of the Busway cycle route. Often busy so avoid peak times if you don't want to queue.
