Fenstanton

A drive from Biggleswade, Sun, 8 Jan 2023 by David Howard

Delayed a week due to the absence of a spare tyre, the planned trip was a success and reached the A14 easily, heading home at Fenstanton as the light was going rather than cover a little more. It was nearly all old villages with traditional buildings and ponds, and had changed far less than most of the other rural areas I've visited.

Click the blue circles to see a photograph taken from that spot and read further information about the location. The blue lines indicate the direction of view. There is also a slideshow of this trip. ( Auto-sync scrolling and map dragging )
