GCP Swaffhams & Bottisham Greenways

This engagement has now closed – thank you for your contributions

Our engagement period took place between 27 February and 24 March 2023

The Swaffhams and Bottisham Greenways are two of twelve proposed Greenways which aim to make local walking and cycling and, where appropriate horse-riding journeys safer and easier.

The Greenways 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.

Swaffhams Greenway

The route would start in Swaffham Prior and continue through Swaffham Bulbeck alongside the B1102, past Anglesey Abbey to Stow-cum-Quy. Here, the route would converge with the Bottisham Greenway, which would provide a link into Cambridge.

Bottisham Greenway

The Bottisham Greenway would follow the A1303 west from the village to Stow-cum-Quy, where it would link up with the Swaffhams Greenway. It would use the A14 underpass to rejoin the Newmarket Road (A1303) and pass through the Marleigh Development to Fen Ditton, Ditton Meadows, Stourbridge Common and end in Midsummer Common.
