Meet at 10:30am at Houghton Mill (where we ate our lunch last year). We'll walk the Ouse Valley Way to Godmanchester, returning via Hemmingford Abbots to the inviting Tea Shop at the Mill. Anybody who would like further refreshments is welcome back at our house. This is a leisurely walk of about 6 miles, ascent approx 4 feet! Please bring a packed lunch as there are some lovely picnics sites by the rivers and lakes, and we will also be passing a pub. The Mill is in the village of Houghton, signposted off A1123 Huntingdon to St Ives (grid ref TL282720, see map). It’s National Trust and there’s a small charge for car parking (free for NT members). The Mill is also open for milling demonstrations and well worth a look if you haven't already.
