The track from Stapleford to Brabraham, New Year's Day 2007

This pleasant walk is from the village of Stapleford across fields, by a river, through new plantings, past a "pocket park", via an attractive church (pictured here in sunnier days) and to the relaxing gastropub the George at Babraham.

Flat and easy in most weathers it's worth having a windproof jacket for the last section past the black barn to Stapleford as, if there's the slightest wind, you'll feel it here.

Variants include tacking on a section along Mingle Lane to Shelford railway station or taking in Wandlebury Ring and Gog-Magog Down instead of Stapleford.

You also pass an attractive aspect of Babraham Hall.

All in all an easy and attractive circular walk of a little over 9 miles.

A short version of this walk, omitting Brabraham, is featured at the Shelford Village website.
