Great Wilbraham is a pleasant village not far from Cambridge.
Our walk of 51/2 miles took us through the village, across fields and into Wilbraham Common, a nature reserve and species-rich grassland, then over to Fulbourn Fen, another nature reserve run by the Wildlife Trust of Beds, Cambs and Northants. It was a cold but bright day, a thin layer of snow and ice, temperature hovering around zero, which in places helped to make potential muddy patches into firm crisp ground.
We parked in the car park of The Carpenter's Arms in Great Wilbraham, which proved to be an excellent lunch venue for the completion of our circular walk. The pub has accommodation, a variety of eating spaces and also hosts a description of the walk we took today. Here is the description.
Great Wilbraham Common is a Site of Special Scientific Interest containing at least 80 species of grassland plants. |
