20 minutes from the centre of Cambridge by car; take the A14 going west to the Boxworth exit, park at the south western end of the village. To start the walk take the road going south, marked "No through road" where the main road through the village turns to the right. Follow this for just over 1 mile where you will see a footpath sign pointing in both directions. This is where part of the pathfinder long distance walk forms a crossroads. Turn right down the track towards Knapwell. We saw evidence of a Badgers set right next to this main path (see photo).Follow this pleasant track past wooded areas to your right and after just over half a mile, at a dip, take the path towards the Overhall Grove nature reserve. The path takes you through woods of the nature reserve with the stream on your left. When you get through the woods, and near a map of the reserve, you can take the bridge over the stream into the village of Knapwell or, to complete the walk, take the opposite direction on a path over open grass lands heading up a gentle incline and with woods either side. At the top of the hill cross the concrete road and follow the boundary between the two fields. A short grass track with new metal kissing gates either end then takes you back to the original road and back into Boxworth. On 28-2-10 after heavy rain the stream was very full and the path back into Knapwell not passable without waders.
