Wintringham’s leisure route currently provides a 4km walking and cycling loop around the perimeter of the first phase of the development. This current route takes in growing woodland and natural habitats being created in the middle of the development as well as historic brooks and Rights of Way. In Summer 2024, the route was reconfigured slightly to provide views of the stunning lakes to the south of Phase 1, and it will be extended further as the development grows.
Routes like these are key to Wintringham’s health and wellbeing focus and as people walk and cycle more as part of their everyday lives, we hope it will encourage people to travel about more sustainably, benefitting their health and carbon footprint.
The leisure route also incorporates three fitness stations with a range of accessible outdoor exercise equipment for those wanting to shake up their activity levels or target specific muscle groups.
Wayfinding boards continue throughout the trail to encourage exploration and discovery of some of our hero species and habitats, which are part of Wintringham’s biodiversity strategy.
The route also connects to the Cambridge Road linear park, which provides a safe and green walk to school route, including orchard trees to pick an apple a day on your way to school.
