Godmanchester and Graveley

This ride uses quiet roads in pleasant countryside. It includes the burial place of the landscape architect "Capability" Brown. Like all such designers, he could not possibly have lived long enough to see his work in its maturity, and yet we can enjoy it over 200 years later. Since "Capability" worked in so many locations around the country it may come as a surprise that he had time to be Lord of the Manor of Fenstanton.

Some points of interest on this route are a memorial to RAF and other service men and women at the former airfield at Graveley, a 17th century turf maze at Hilton, and a manor house which has been continually occupied since the 12th century. An optional short detour at St Ives leads to a chapel on a 15th century bridge, one of only three in the country.

Parking is available in the village of Godmanchester.
