Sawston–Whittlesford Cycleway

Highlight • Cycleway

Scenic off road route crossing the River Cam to provide a shorter direct connection between Sawston & Whittlesford. The short section of path from Whittlesford Church to the village is quite broken and rough but it’s smooth new tarmac across the meadows between the church and the river.

Lovely old market town. It’s wealth created from growing saffron from crocus during the medieval period. A fantastic selection of cafes including a bike shop that does excellent coffee.

A straight 700m climb with a shallow but steady 3.5% gradient - you can see the top from the bottom so good for a quick hill climb contest in the big ring.
