Cambridge to Orchard Tea Rooms

This 4km point-to-point route offers a charming transition from urban Cambridge to the idyllic village of Grantchester. Starting on paved city roads, you quickly access the picturesque Fen Causeway. The route then leads you along the River Cam, where the surface changes to smooth, compacted gravel paths, winding through lush riverside scenery. It’s an ideal run for those seeking a mix of city convenience and peaceful natural beauty.

As you continue onto the Grantchester Meadows cycleway, the run unfolds through open fields, providing expansive views and a refreshing countryside atmosphere, all on well-maintained paths. This largely flat route is perfect for an easy-going sightseeing run or a convenient training session on mostly paved and well-surfaced paths, culminating at the famous Orchard Tea Rooms.
