Route overview

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.

Where we are

In November, we made great strides towards improving travel safety in Horningsea village and Fen Ditton. Traffic calming measures, including bolt-down islands, were installed in Horningsea, and new Belisha beacons were switched on in Fen Ditton. We also began upgrading streetlighting in both areas and installed new signs in Horningsea village.

We’re now focused on completing the work in Horningsea village in January 2025. This includes finishing road markings around the traffic calming measures and across the village, completing streetlighting improvements for both Horningsea village and Fen Ditton, and finalising signage installations. These finishing touches will mean most of the Horningsea greenway has been delivered, which is great news for those wanting to travel between Cambridge and Horningsea.

We would like to thank local residents for their patience and understanding as we work to deliver these improvements and ensure safer, more pleasant journeys for everyone.
