Fowlmere Circular; part 2 - Foxton

We cross the A10 at Shepreth Mill and follow the course of the River Shep; we turn at the road we eventually meet and have a good view of the Shepreth All Saints Church. From here we walk up the High Street as far as The Plough and cross a stile and then a small bridge before walking up a lane next to the River Shep; we turn off before Shepreth Wildlife Park, doubling back to take the footpath to Foxton. We reach a large, private lake close to the A10 - we never knew the lake was there as it is hidden from the road.

Crossing back over the A10 we walk into Foxton, passing daffodils and reach the small, triangular village green; there are several attractive houses around it and an interesting shelter on it. We walk up the High Street to see Foxton Dovecot and Meadow, a 300 year old building with a small conservation area around it. A very short distance from here is the Church of St Laurence.

We double back to the Green and pass through Foxton Wood on our way back to Fowlmere. A really interesting day out.Read more
