Itinerary description

This short walking trail leaves the Wellcome Genome Centre in Hinxton and explores the small English Village of Hinxton. I started this walk just outside Mulberry Hall at 52.08237°N & 00.18427°E. The grounds are very green and lush with walking trails populated by lots of birds, squirrels, and hares. Upon leaving the grounds of the Genome Centre turn left heading 326° at the roundabout at 52.07921°N & 00.18826°E.
A short stretch along the A 1301 has no established walking or biking path so extreme care must be taken when venturing along this way. I turned onto New Road at 52.08328°N & 00.18584°E to get into Hinxton. Turn right onto High Street at 52.08289°N & 00.18291°E. High Street hosts the historic Red Lion Inn. Keep right at 52.0882°N & 00.18291°E onto North End Road. This exits at the A 1301 at 52.08882°N & 00.18318°E. From her a right turn along the A 1301 leads back to the Genome Centre. I found a really nice trail past the pond located at 52.08144°N & 00.18196°E through the black steel gates there. I explored the many short walking trails out there as far as the railroad crossing located at 52.07862°N & 00.17935°E. I just continued the short loop through the Genome Centre on the way back to Mulberry Hall.
Happy Trails.
