Want to get out more?  Looking for free, healthy, fun activities close to home? 
There are 4,000 public rights of way in Cambridgeshire for you to explore and enjoy.

Walk, jog, orienteer, cycle, ride or try out one of the many other countryside sports and activities on offer.  Enjoy the wildlife, fresh air and ever-changing scenery of the countryside.  Cambridgeshire's 3,000 km public footpath network is waiting for you.

Getting out into the countryside is:

  • Healthy
  • Stress-reducing
  • Confidence-boosting
  • Free
  • Green
  • Fun for all the family

If you join an organisation or group activity, it's a great way to meet people and make new friends.  Public rights of way can also provide a useful route to neighbouring villages, to work, school, shops or other local amenities.
