As a family we liked it, however one of its selling points is supposed to be wheelchair accessibility. I would disagree that wheelchair users, especially independent ones, could manage the muddy uneven grass down onto the designed concrete path, which is not wide enough for a user and friend to walk side by side and still allow for on coming people. Lots of mud throughout that path, strange bit of grass in the middle to divide the concrete, which simply gets mushed up by feet, bike wheels etc. I wouldn't recommend this place to a wheelchair user who wanted to go out with a friend for a stroll and chat. Not designed with users in mind. Tokenistic at best.
The rest of the setting is beautiful and it was so nice to see the original farming preserved in one field. Shows how our ancestors had a better way of working with each other and the environment.
It was a good family stroll, just really cheesed off about the token wheelchair facility and the lack of maintenance and forethought around it.
One of the best views of Cambridge you can get
Great to find a fenced in dog safe area to give dogs which otherwise do not go off leash a little run. Would be even better if the chicken wire was covering the lower part of gates, as smaller dogs could still scramble through and escape. Still a great find though, nice walks too.
Lovely place to cycle through, especially nice at sunset! Usually very peaceful and quiet for an evening stroll.
Pleasant walk, nice open pathways, motorway noise a bit excessive, car park a little small.
