Directions for Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge Bus routes and coaches The Cambridgeshire County Council website provides full details of local bus routes and times <www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/transport/around/buses/>, and an interactive map of all Cambridge bus stops at <www.cambridgeshirebus.info/>. The MyBusTrip app provides real-time bus information for Cambridge and Cambridgeshire: <www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/info/20017/buses/12/real_time_bus_information>. National Express coaches stop at Parkside in Cambridge city centre and at the Madingley Road Park & Ride (not at the Drummer Street Bus Station). Put Fitzwilliam's postcode - CB3 0DG - into the National Express Stopfinder <coach.nationalexpress.com/nxbooking/stop-finder> and you will see both locations in relation to the College. Taxis can be found at Drummer Street Bus Station, not far from the Parkside stop. Directions by car From the North: Access by road from the North is via the A1 to Huntingdon, then A14 and A1307 (Huntingdon Road) into Cambridge. Fitzwilliam is approximately two miles from the A14 on your right. From the East: Using the A14 take the B1049 exit towards Cambridge. At the end of Histon Road turn right and right again at the traffic lights into Huntingdon Road. Fitzwilliam is approximately 200 metres on your left. From the South: Leave the M11 at Junction 13 and drive along Madingley Road towards Cambridge. After Churchill College, turn left into Storey's Way. Fitzwilliam is on your right after the first corner of Storey's Way. From the West: Join either the M11 or A14 and follow directions as above. Parking: Fitzwilliam College has two car parks, one at the main (south) entrance on Storey's Way, the other on Huntingdon Road (north entrance). If you wish to use the car park, please indicate this on your Booking Form, and when you arrive, report to the Porters' Lodge on Storey's Way. The College operates a clamping scheme for any unregistered vehicles. In addition, street car parking is available along Storey's Way by the College entrance. By train There is a frequent train service to London (Liverpool Street and King's Cross). The fastest service takes 52 minutes, and at peak times there are seven trains per hour. The train station is situated to the south of Cambridge city centre. The town centre is approximately halfway between the station and Fitzwilliam College. The College can easily be reached using taxis or buses: the 'City Rail Link' bus departs the station every ten minutes, taking you to the city centre. On foot the journey to the College then takes around 15 minutes. By air International flights: Of the London airports the most convenient is Stansted, as it is only 25 miles along the M11 from Cambridge. Coaches and trains can be taken from the airport to Cambridge. From Gatwick and Heathrow, head for King's Cross Station to take a train to Cambridge, or for Victoria Station to use the coach station. You are advised to enquire upon arrival at the airport as to the most efficient route to Cambridge. National flights: Cambridge airport is on the west side of the city. You are advised to enquire at the airport whether there is currently any public transport running to Huntingdon Road. .

Safer Cycling and Walking to and from North West Cambridge
Safer Cycling and Walking to and from North West Cambridge Nicola Pearson*1, David J.C. MacKay†1 and J. Axel Zeitler‡1 1Resident of Girton and parent of child in reception class at the University of Cambridge Primary School 3rd November 2015 Abstract We are deeply concerned that the designs of the Eddington Ave / Huntingdon Rd junction and the Bunker’s Hill / Huntingdon Rd / Girton Rd are not safe for pedestrians and cyclists coming and going between the North West Cambridge Development and Girton Village, including both Girton Road and Thornton Road; moreover these designs are utterly inconsistent with the stated aspirations of the University, the City Council, and the District Council, to enhance the transport connections to neighbouring communities. We note that the University’s Transport Strategy aims to give cycling and walking high priority and states an aspiration for “high quality” solutions, including “safe and convenient crossings for pedestrians and cyclists”. We note that the University’s Community Strategy repeatedly mentions the goal of linking to neighbouring communities through cycling and pedestrian routes. We note that the City and District Councils’ Policy stipulates that pedestrian routes should be provided that are “direct, safe, and attractive”, and that new and enhanced cycle links should be made, “including links to nearby villages”. The Eddington Ave / Huntingdon Rd junction design that is being built violates all these aspira- tions and commitments by singularly failing to include ANY new crossings of Huntingdon Road that are direct, safe, and attractive for people travelling from and to Girton and other destinations in the north-west.

Wildlife Along the Coton Footpath
Wildlife along the Coton Footpath Jonathan Shanklin The Cambridge Natural History Society decided in 2002 to embark on a local project to study wildlife along the Coton Footpath. The aim of this was in part to study local wildlife and in part to get beginners involved in identifying flora and fauna. The scope of the project was extended because we discovered that the footpath is located in the grid tetrad that the Botanical Society of the British Isles is surveying as part of their Local Change project and the results will contribute to this project. A surprisingly wide range of flora has been found. Introduction The footpath begins at the junction of Wilberforce Road with Adams Road, adjacent to the new Cambridge University sports ground. It runs west along level ground to the M11 motorway, which it crosses by a footbridge, before continuing on to Coton village. The footpath is designated in the local plan as one of the green environmental routes running out of Cambridge. The footpath runs through the middle of grid tetrad TL45j, which is being surveyed by the Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI) as part of their Local Change project. The M11 marks the western boundary of the tetrad and return routes are possible via a footpath leading past the University rugby ground on Grange Road, via Charles Babbage Road and the Cavendish Laboratory or via Madingley Road. Several other walks through the tetrad are possible, particularly through the University Observatories to the Huntingdon Road and back via St Giles cemetery and Storey’s Way.
