Ely & Little Downham Country Walk, relaxing music walking scenery video, Cambridgeshire, England, UK

Ely, Little Downham, Chettisham, River Great Ouse Walk was about 10.5 miles in distance. The terrain of the route was a combination of field and enclosed tracks; a riverside path; plus some pavement and road sections. The walking was easy on level ground. Route finding was easy with obvious paths, good waymarking and good landmarks. There were no stiles to negotiate.

Along the walk you visit: Ely, the South Bedford Level and Little Downham; Chettisham, the River Great Ouse and Ely again. Scenery includes: open landscape of the South Beford Level in the Fens with old drove roads lined with hedges, trees and ditches; crop fields and small copses; the pools of Roswell Pits Nature Reserve with water fowl; the lovely River Great Ouse with motor boats, narrow boats and water fowl; distant views of Ely Cathedral above the tree line; lovely building in Little Downham such as St Leonard’s Church and The Anchor Pub, plus cottages with thatched roofs; the quaint little 13th century church in Chettisham; many fabulous old buildings of Ely, made from black and white timber frame such as the Tourist Information Centre, and stone such as St Mary’s Church and Ely Cathedral; the medieval gateway of the Ely Porta; the old monastic buildings of King's School; many other splendid buildings; Cherry Hill Park with a splendid view across to Ely Cathedral and its majestic crown-like central lantern.

I did this walk with my wife Anne whilst on a combined cat sitting and Cambridgeshire walking holiday during April 2019. We drove from our accommodation in Woodhurst, Cambridgeshire, north of St Ives, to the starting location of Ely, Cambridgeshire. We parked in Barton Road Car Park, and walked to the Tourist Information Centre, at grid reference TL 537 802, which was the start location for the walk.
