Very nice park not far away from home. Just a reminder to cyclists when leaving the park to pay attention to the big bump at the entrance/exit. It might be buried under fallen leaves and tree shadows which is a bit difficult to see. Friend almost fell off the bike with the downhill momentum.

If you’re looking to escape the bustle of Cambridge for a few hours, Wandlebury Country Park is an absolute must. I added this to my weekend itinerary and it definitely didn’t disappoint.

I've just had a lovely walk through nature at the Wandlebury ring. It's full of ancient history and ancient trees. You get to walk through the wild flower meadows, insects all hard working, with the sound of a multitude of wild birds. There are plenty of places to have a picnic. It's full of adventure for your 4 legged friends and wild kids. It's very relaxed and free of rubbish. My mother is in a wheelchair, and some areas can be a bit tricky, but we got around most areas. A great day out
