Cambridge Guided Busway Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Don't get too close to the busway edge as buses can come past at speed creating a dangerous draught. Also, tree roots under the path have made the surface a bit bumpy in places.

Cambridge Biomedical Campus Cycleway

Highlight • Cycleway

Wide and board view from the bridge

Tip by

4.43 km

A decent cycle path that connects Shelford and surrounding villages to Addenbrookes and the city centre. Easy access to the Nine Wells wooded and stream area if you are looking for a nice place to chill out and relax during a ride.

St Mary and St John Church, Hinxton

Highlight • Historical Site

The name Hinxton is a contraction of Hengestestun, "the town of Hengest".[2]

The village of Hinxton is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Hestitona, as Hyngeston in the Ely Registers of 1341 and Hengestone in the Ramsey Chartulary. Its parish church is the medieval St Mary and St John Church.

DNA Pathway (Addenbrooke’s to Great Shelford)

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Connection between Biomedical Campus and Shelford with an unfolded gene on the path. Though the paint declines (nice analogly for DNA reading faults) still impressive if you think about the amount of information stored in this relatively small gene alone.
