Turn left at the junction of Mill Road and Brooks Road at 52.19626°N and 00.15592°E. Continue heading 15° along Brooks Road. Turn heading 318° onto Coldham’s Lane at 52.20082°N and 00.15711°E. There is a partially covered pedestrian and cycle bridge at 52.20704°N and 00.14726°E. Keep left at the intersection of Coldham’s Lane and the A1134 at 52.20760°N and 00.14477°E. A right turn at the intersection of Coldham’s Lane and the A1134 at 52.20760°N and 00.14477°E leads to the Leper Chapel of St. Mary Magdelene located at 52.21388°N and 00.15257°E. This place is worth having a look. Continue heading 61° along the A1134. There is a roundabout at 52.20871°N and 00.13817°E. From there I entered the Midsummer Commons at 52.20804°N and 00.12920°E and walked diagonally across the commons to the River Cam. There is a nice foot and cycle bridge crossing the River Cam at 52.21245°N and 00.12838°E. The magnificent Jesus Green is located at 52.21263°N and 00.12055°E. Here there are many options for activities along the river, snacks, food, drinks, and river punting tours. I proceeded along the river heading to Quayside at 52.21143°N and 00.11824°E. You’d find a lot of activities and eateries along Quayside. From there I turned heading 179° along Magdelene Road past St. John’s College of Cambridge University at 52.20915°N and 00.11757°E.

Great St. Mary’s Church is along the way at 52.20529°N and 00.11787°E on Trinity Street and its worth the stop.

    A must do trail... It's a good walk but not on an overcast, rainy, or chilly day... I did it on a day when it was only 10°C and windy so that felt slightly uncomfortable...
