Directions

This was a short amble to view the last remaining stretch of the Roman Car Dyke, a waterway that once ran from the River Cam just south of Waterbeach to Lincoln. Car Dyke is a fairly impressive earthwork (even though it has been infilled over the years), and is located to the southeast of the village, and is accessible via a footpath running behind the playing fields. Further information on the Car Dyke Conservation Walk can be found here.
