If you are thinking of getting around on foot on Tuesday, we have put together a list of local walks, some of which you might know and others that may be new to you:
- Lake and Country Park – access through Station Lane Avenue 2 or off Langel common behind the Leisure Centre and through the hay meadow.
- Visit the Tiny Forest at Eton Close on Cogges – it’s still very little but growing well and a great place to spot some butterflies and creepy crawlies
- Cogges or Madley into the town centre across Langel Common
- West End to Marriotts across the field and Windrush and up Puck Lane
- Alongside the Windrush from the back of the Mill past the Bathing Place and up to Dry Lane in Crawley
- Deer Park Wood
- Burwell to The Leys across the traffic lights on Ducklington Lane and along the lane beside Lidl.
- This one sounds a bit odd, but consider a walk through our beautiful Victorian Cemetery. Here is a guide to help you discover some of the most interesting historical and unusual features there and another to help identify some of the wildlife.
