Cambridge Guided Busway Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Please bear in mind the busway is not lit - you'll need to ensure you have lights as there's very little 'surrounding illumination' to see if you're riding the busway at night

Cycleway Near Anglesey Abbey

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Accessed westbound via a sharp, narrow chicane just before the entrance to Anglesey Abbey. Using it eastbound requires crossing against the oncoming traffic at both ends. Fine for tourers, fast road cyclists are probably better sticking to the road.
