Pleasant route going through varied environments, e.g. Approaching Sawston I didn't realise I had to come out of the farm and onto the Cambridge Road, so I continued along the farm track and had to climb over a low gates to get to the main road....

This is a flat route that roughly follows the route of the River Cam or Rhee. Soon after rejoining the line of the river the path disappears into a zone of hedge and trees - whilst passable there was some bramble and nettle encroaching onto the path when walked in August 2021 and some locals have been bypassing by walking round via the field margin. Taking Button Lane out of Harston this leads onto a well drained field path to Haslingfield. After crossing the River Rhee a well signed permissive path granted by Trumpington Estate allows you to divert off the Slow Way, by following a concrete track around a new mixed woodland planted in celebration of Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee. From here there is a choice of routes to the centre but the Slow Way route next to the river and then up Mill Lane is probably the most attractive....

A nice route using footpaths, dirt tracks, country roads, and the pavements of roads in Sawston, Newton, and Foxton. Occasionally muddy in parts, especially in winter or after recent rain....

Walk this route

This route is fairly flat and benefits from great views over the flat Cambridgeshire countryside for much of its length. The section to Grantchester is very well walked, on a smooth tarmac path and has good views of the river. The motorway crossing is via a fairly steep bridge with wide steps, and there are sections across fields which would be muddy following wet weather....
