Peterborough To Whittlesey Cycle Route

6 miles (9 km)

This ride follows National Cycle Route 63 from Peterborough To Whittlesey.
It's a very appealing ride, following a traffic free trail along the River Nene to Wash Northey. The route then leaves the river and follow trails south east to finish in Whittlesey.
The 6 mile ride is a good one for families as it is nearly all off roads and very flat. As such it's also suitable for walkers.
