A 4 mile circular trail around the university city of Cambridge. You’ll have chance to enjoy many of the famous parks and open spaces including Jesus Green and Parker’s Piece, see the beautiful architecture of many of the famous university colleges and also see the range of bridges that cross over the River Cam throughout the city. The walk is almost entirely flat, with just one steady hill at the start. There are no stiles or gates and only a few steps. The walk follows well made tarmac paths making it suitable for pushchairs. There are public toilets available on Jesus Green, Midsummer Common (on Victoria Avenue) and Parker’s Piece. Approximate time 2 hours (plus extra time if you wish to visit any museums/attractions). |

The walk starts from Castle Street in Cambridge. Parking is available in the long stay Castle Hill pay and display car park, which is accessed via Castle Street. Approximate post code CB3 0AJ. Cambridge rail station is a little way out of the city centre, but if you come by train you can walk along Station Road and then Hills Road to join the walk mid way between waypoints four and five. |

Lovely walk round a city we have visited many times but had previously felt we'd missed what it had to offer. We personally would enjoy a bit more background for each of the sites highlighted but understand this is down to personal preference. The route was well laid out and clearly described. We would definitely recommend this walk to others. |

Good walk length, we went on the river Punt tour first so started at Silver Street & the walk complimented to this. We looked around the market place & took the walk up Castle Mound as commented on by a review. We also included the Corpus Clock at 58 Trimpington Street. I would recommend this walk. |

It's a shame the walk doesn't advise a walk up the castle mound opposite Shire Hall which gives great views across the city. |
