Earith Gravel Pits

Earith is a village about 12 miles north west of Cambridge. Drive out along the road in the north east of the village towards a small industrial estate, then park on the road going north and that leads to a fishery farm. Start your walk going north along this track. With glimpses of the water filled open cast gravel pits to your left, continue north on a stretch of made up road. A bridle path continues past the entrance to a farm and then bears left around further gravel pits. New workings to the north of the path are not shown on the map. The path take you round in a loop eventually meeting the made up road you encountered when going north. Turn left, along this road until you see a wide grass path, now going south and just before the gravel pit on your right. Follow this path, over a foot bridge at the end of the pit and then all the way back to Earith. When you see a small camp site, near a series of electric fenced enclosures, you can double back, with the camp site on your right, then across a field and pass between two of the gravel workings. Find your way back to the original track to complete the walk.
