Start at the main Wandlebury Country Park car park, reached from the signed entrance off the A1307. This walk combines the park woodland and meadow paths with an out-and-back along the western Roman Road. Follow the western edge of the park north past the Iron Age ring ditch, then continue around the northern meadow by Banyard Wildlife Hide and the views towards Ely. Take the woodland paths east to the long beech avenue and Wool Street, going around Woolstreet Cottage on the public path to reach the Roman Road.
Turn left along the broad Roman Road track and follow the chalk ridge north-west to its northern end at Worts Causeway. Turn back before entering the road. Retrace the Roman Road to the Wandlebury junction and return down Wool Street, then use the southern meadow and woodland paths to complete the park loop back to the car park. The route stays north of the A1307 throughout and does not require crossing the dual carriageway.
Allow about 2 hours 30 minutes for the 7.5km route, including short stops at the viewpoints. Expect gently rolling ground, unsurfaced paths, roots and slippery mud after rain. The Roman Road is shared with horses and cyclists, and vehicles may use park drives. Keep dogs on leads in Wandlebury and give grazing livestock space.
The park and car park open dawn to dusk. Entry is free; current parking charges are £3.50 Monday to Friday and £4.39 at weekends and bank holidays, paid by card. Blue badge parking is free. Toilets and picnic benches are available; pop-up cafes operate seasonally, so bring water and do not depend on them. Ring wall repair works were announced for 2026: follow on-site barriers and wardens instructions rather than entering any works area.
Route and visitor information checked against Cambridge Past, Present & Future visitor guide and walking pages, and the Friends of the Roman Road and Fleam Dyke Roman Road leaflet and route updates.
