You then follow paths to the famous Cambridge Backs where you can enjoy nice views of some of the University colleges. The walk continues south through Sheep’s Green and Coe Fen Nature Reserve.

Follow Grantchester Meadows Road away from the river before heading across Skater’s Meadow to return to the Cam.
