(6.6 km) You can park on the junction of Mere Way and where Milton Road coming out of Impington becomes Butt Lane leading toward Milton. Walk north east along the wide grass path that is Mere Way (once a Roman road from London to Ely called Akeman Street), you will see either side soft fruit growing in poly-tunnels. Proceed until you see the sign to the conservation walk on your left. Follow the edge of the field, then over footbridge. Keep following the path through a series of newly planted woods and field edges. At one point you will cross a track leading to some farm buildings and you can find the information on Oldfield Farm and the plantation of this wood in 1991. At the far north east of the Oldfield Farm development you will need to double back along the edge of a field, going north west, to join a track running north. Where you meet another track, turn right to walk south east towards Rectory Farm, a newly converted thatched barn. Just before you reach the barn, pass through the hedge on your left to joint the marked path and continue east until you are near the barn. Your route now takes you north east again, across very flat fen terrain. Turn again where you can cross the ditch to head east again towards a copse. In the wooded path turn south to find your way back onto Mere Way near the outskirts of Landbeach. Now head south along Mere Way, initially a made up road, to return to your car.
