St Ives Bridge is a 15th-century bridge crossing the River Great Ouse. It is noted for being one of only four bridges in England to incorporate a chapel, the monks never being one to miss an opportunity to make money, the chapel doubled up as a toll-house. Safe passage is no longer charged for on this bridge.

High-Speed Cycling Segment Parallel to the A14

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Wide, flat, straight, smooth road parallel to the A14 with relatively little traffic. There’s also a cycle path but to avoid kerbs for maximum speed stay on the road. Head down and crank out the power.

Girton to Dry Drayton Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

New smooth, wide, cycle path added as part of the A14 upgrade. Only downside is a give way at the turning to Madingley but otherwise a great ride away from the traffic.
