Quiet Country Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A dead end for motor vehicles so a lovely, quiet lane for cycling. Pedestrian and bike crossing over A420 at southern end.

Tip by

5.45 km

A bridleway crosses the River Thames at Duxford Ford. When river levels are low the ford is passable (Google has photos), but in April 2022 it was blocked by a large fallen tree and the river was flowing deep and swift. You may need to retrace your route.

There's work in progress to restore the wetlands in this area - see bbowt.org.uk/chimney-meadows-wetland-restoration-and-fish-passage-project and scroll down for pictures of the ford.

Shifford Lock Cut Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The bridge is wide and flat. On the north side is a good and smooth tarmac road towards Aston. On the other side, on Chimney Meadows "island", is a bridleway to the ford leading to Duxford and a path (cyclable but it's meant to be walked) leading to a hump-back bridge with steps. If cycling you'll need to carry your bike over that bridge.

Shifford Lock Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Temporarily closed, so you can’t’t go in a loop, but you can continue path through wooden bridge.
Lock is in the centre of a triangle formed by the small villages of Shifford, Duxford and Chimney. It is at the start of a navigation cut built with the lock by the Thames Conservancy in 1898.
