Walks round Cambridge

These are not conventional walks, with a start point and an end point and a length. Instead they cover an area of Cambridge or a theme, telling you about interesting things to see and more, or less, pleasant roads and paths to walk down. Feel free to construct your own walks round them! There is a map for each walk.

If you are visiting Cambridge and just want to do one walk, then I suggest the third river walk: Magdalene Bridge to Silver Street Bridge. This covers views of the Round Church, St Johns and Trinity gatehouses, Kings College Chapel and the Mathematical bridge, and gives a contrast between the city centre and the Backs. If you have children, then try searching for some of the animals. That points out a few museums as well - the Zoology museum is surprisingly popular with children.
