Houghton Mill and Houghton Meadows Walk, Houghton Mill

Loops gently through riverside meadows and along the Great Ouse, mostly flat with easy terrain perfect for families, buggies (on firmer sections), and dogs on leads. The National Trust site includes a beautifully preserved working watermill and wildflower meadows teeming with butterflies in summer. Short enough for toddlers but offers peaceful river views and good wildlife spotting opportunities year-round.

Huntingdon and Godmanchester Walk, Houghton Mill

Follows the Great Ouse between two historic market towns, linking riverside meadows and quiet lanes with minimal incline – mostly flat, easy terrain. Not suitable for buggies due to uneven towpaths and kissing gates. Dogs welcome throughout. Highlights include National Trust's Houghton Mill (working watermill), wildlife spotting along the river, and medieval bridge connections between Huntingdon and Godmanchester, making this an accessible half-day explore of Cambridgeshire's waterside heritage.

St Ives and the Hemingfords Walk, Houghton Mill

Follows the Great Ouse through picturesque meadows and historic villages on mainly flat terrain with gentle riverside paths. Suitable for families with older children who can manage the full 8km distance, though uneven sections and potentially muddy riverside stretches make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome and will love the river access. The walk links charming St Ives with National Trust's Houghton Mill, offering riverside wildlife, medieval architecture, and excellent pub stops en route.
