One of the most picturesque walks in Cambridgeshire begins at the National Trust's Anglesey Abbey. The dog-friendly two-mile walk features pastoral views, historical landmarks, and a mix of natural and man-made wonders. The trail passes Lode Mill, a copse of trees, a disused railway line, an ancient watercourse, and the village of Lode before returning to Anglesey Abbey. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead near farmland. Anglesey Abbey's Redwoods Restaurant offers refreshments. The walk includes open fields, a winding watercourse, an old oak tree, and a memorial stone commemorating William Ison. The National Trust provides step-by-step instructions for the walking route.
