GW horningsea

The Horningsea Greenway will provide safer and better route for people walking, cycling and, where appropriate, horse-riding between Horningsea, Fen Ditton and Cambridge.

The Horningsea Greenway is one of twelve Greater Cambridge Greenways that will make journeys more sustainable, provide healthier alternatives to the car and allow people to enjoy the Cambridgeshire countryside for leisure purposes. They will also help to make local journeys, such as school and nursery runs safer and easier
