Help connect Littleport

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Littleport’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates

Wasn't completely clear if you could walk along the edge of the river immediately south of Victoria Street in Littleport but there's an easy diversion down another footpath a little further along which quickly reconnects you to the river. A number of stiles to climb over but good to be off road for most of it - though there aren't many places to shelter from the rain on the river section if it's a wet day, and no facilities outside of the towns it connects....

I walked from Littleport, but the footbridge was closed, therefore continued on along the river, eventually coming into Ely by crossing the river on the main road bridge south of the town.

If the bridge is going to remain closed a new route is needed, perhaps keeping on the West Bank of the river....

It’s generally a straightforward route, the only issue being that the pedestrian footbridge across the River Great Ouse around 1 Km south of Queen Adelaide is currently closed, with access to the footbridge blocked by wire mesh fencing....

From Hockwold to Lakenheath and then Sedge Fen to Lakenheath, the path is on dangerous roads. While it is straightforward to follow, it is not safe. I would not recommend this route....
