Waterbeach and Botisham Lock

Park in Waterbeach and follow the road south east towards the station past an interesting array of village cottages. You can follow the original path which veers off to the left before you reach the station, but you will be directed back to the level crossing along the station platform in any case. Immediately after crossing the railway take the path to the left down to a white "British Rail" style gate. Follow the path turning right towards the river, being careful not to stray into the Cam Sailing Club. Once at the river, walk on the embankment all the way to Botisham Lock.

Cross the river at the lock and follow the path along the east bank down to the bridge at Clayhithe; you will find a pub of that name there, good for meals at almost any time. Opposite the pub, on the other side of the road you can join a cycle track/footpath that takes you back to the station car park, and thence back to Waterbeach.  (4.55 km)
