Pidley Bottom Shepherd's Huts

Keep going with the Cambridgeshire country pursuits by heading out directly from the farm for a hike on the Pathfinder Long Distance Walk, wandering over the road for a game of golf at the Lakeside Lodge Golf Centre or stashing your fishing kit in the car for the couple of minutes’ drive to the local fishing lakes. Heading a little further away from the farm, local trips might include meeting the big birds at the Raptor Foundation (10 minutes’ drive), seeking out their smaller cousins at RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes (half an hour) or seeing how flour gets made the old-fashioned way at Houghton Mill (20 minutes). Quite in contrast but still packed with pretty views is a city day out in Cambridge (45 minutes) for tours of the famed colleges, museum visits (the Fitzwilliam Museum and Centre for Computing History are popular picks) and trying your hand at punting along the River Cam.
