Controversy aside I did enjoy my walk around Ely Country Park. Its managed by a mix of landowners and perhaps because of this has no real corporate feel to it. Its got surfaced paths and unsurfaced nay really muddy ones as well, but then thats where you can choose where you want to go.
After walking through a short grass area you enter tree and shrub lined Springhead Lane then reach the old pits with ducks, geese and great crested grebes, oh yes and a couple of kingfishers dobbing about. Then its through the gate in the hedge and along by the river back to town.
Lovely views of the cathedral on the way round as well this one from the path by the river.
And for a bit of variety you can watch the trains and imagine its the Flying Scotsman you are seeing. An enjoyable walk to my mind.
