The Cambridgeshire walk with panoramic views from one of the highest points in the county

This walk features some lovely spots for views

As the seasons start to change, and the sun is coming out, the flowers have started to bloom and the temperature will begin to get warmer. Spring is a great time to put on your walking boots and enjoy the countryside that sits amongst us in our beautiful county.

Luckily, there are many lovely green spaces, award-winning parks, and delightful trails around Cambridgeshire just waiting to be explored. No matter what area of the county you are from, you are never too far away from a scenic walk in the fresh air.

One particular route, planned by AllTrails, features panoramic views from one of the highest points in our notoriously flat county.

The Magog Down and Wandlebury Circular walk route by AllTrails is 5.3 kilometres (3.29 miles) long and takes between an hour and a half to two hours to complete. This circular trail offers a route featuring some beautiful spots including within Magog Down and Little Trees Hills.

The route begins and ends at the Magog Down car park, just south of Cambridge, and it follows a circular route around some pretty extraordinary spots. Within Magog Down, a country park, trekkers can walk by the meadows filled with a pop of yellow from the cowslips in spring.

During the walk, when you head up Little Trees Hills, visitors can gaze at some of the most expansive panoramic views in the county. From one point you can even see Ely Cathedral – the Ship of the Fens – sailing across the flat horizon.

The walk also includes a summit of around 243 feet. It is one of the highest points of the Gog Magog Hills, a ridge of low chalk hills extending for several miles. The city of Cambridge is laid out before you, with Addenbrooke’s Hospital large close by and the colleges a distance beyond.

This route has been raved by previous trekkers and highlighted for its “beautiful views”. One walker wrote: “Lovely walk on a hot day. Lots of benches and areas of woodland for shade, beautiful views and LOADS of blackberries.”

If you are looking for a walk to admire panoramic views of the county, then this may be a good option for you.
