The route starts at Horningsea village then continues along the Horningsea Road (B0147), over the A14, past the primary school and on to Fen Ditton High Street. From the High Street it follows the Wadloes path to Ditton Meadows where it joins up with the Bottisham Greenway and continues into Cambridge.

Improvement works in Horningsea and Fen Ditton are now complete, bringing safer, more accessible streets for all. The completion of these works marks an important milestone in the delivery of the greenways network as the first route to be completed.

Upgrades include new pedestrian crossings, narrower junctions, off-road footpaths, and improved street lighting. Traffic calming measures are now in place to slow vehicle speeds, making walking and cycling—especially to school—safer and more appealing.

In Horningsea, the works also improve access to popular local walking routes, including the paths to Quy and Lode, and strengthen future links to the planned Bottisham and Swaffham Greenways—connecting residents to Cambridge and surrounding villages.

These improvements support safer, greener travel and stronger community connections.
