Slightly longer than the other routes from Stanford on Avon onwards, but well worth the effort for the combination of rural - including parts of the Nene Way - industrial and city walking....

At Bridge Street I carried on straight when the route turned left onto Bourges Boulevard and then walking on the A15 with no pavement. There were dropped curbs at most junctions, noteably not Windmill St (south side of Stonald Road) into Whittlesey, the north side had dropped curbs opposite....

The route, as written includes crossing a 25m wide river, deep enough for boats to pass, north of Whittlesey....

MC

A mixed walk, a little frustrating being able to see your destination but having to walk around, having a good mapped paths and another new one right beside it....

It is necessary to either take Sutton Heath Road for most of it's length or exit Sacrewell to the East, coming out on Sutton Heath Road....

Coming out of Peterborough you follow nice smooth pathways along canals which all seems to be very accessible with large open fields and a few passes over bridges....

Patrick b

there's some lovely independent local businesses in whittlesley; we enjoyed the cakes and coffees at the cafes!...

Amelia Elvins

Lovely canal boats with good tracks, couple bridges, accessible but a little boring....

James Spychal

From here I was following joint cycle and pedestrian pathways to the villages of Glinton and Northborough before reaching Market Deeping....

It soon changed to road walking which is why I have only given this two stars. With little to break the journey it became quite gruelling only getting more built up towards the end as you approach Peterborough....

You cross the A605 3 times, the one nearest Peterborough is the worst for seeing traffic and its wide, the other 2 were fine. There are steps at Oundle to cross the river and get into Ashton, no stiles but a few narrow swing gates. Bridge is missing along the Nene in Peterborough so there is a small detour via the Boathouse...

Steve

There is probably a slightly more accessible route at the start in Peterborough where you can avoid walking alongside the A15 and down the pedestrianised Bridge Street before turning across and along the River Nene....

Slow Ways Darren

This route avoids major roads and uses paths and cycle ways in preference where possible. It is not that scenic, hence only 4 stars. I have run all this route as part of other circular routes, but not all in one go....

The_Jogger

No gates or stiles as most of it is National Cycle Network....

Steve

Ok walk, could probably change it a bit around Hampton Water to miss walking along the side on London Road/A15 but there is a path its just busy....

Steve

A bridge has been knocked down along the side of the Nene which means a bit of a detour near the rowing lake and a bit of back tracking if starting in Peterborough....

Steve

Scenic route with mixed terrain, almost all off-road and just a couple of spots where you have to take care with traffic. Out of Peterborough city centre within a mile, the next three or four miles are along the river and through Nene Park....
