Huntingdonshire District Council considers cycling to be a very important mode of transport as we aim to widen travel choices across our District. 

This is being undertaken through joint work with other bodies and organisations and the Council is committed to the aim of encouraging more people to cycle.

NEW

Our Tourism Services team have recently launched a series of 14 separate cycle rides around the District. Please use the Local Cycling Routes link to the right-hand side to view full details including available downloads of each route.
