Parking charges apply at both locations (Wandlebury is managed by Cambridge Past, Present & Future; Magog Down by The Magog Trust, with proceeds supporting the upkeep of these Cambridgeshire sites).

Terrain:

The terrain includes well-maintained paths within Wandlebury Country Park (some surfaced with gravel or compacted earth, some well-trodden grass/earth paths), and open grassy downland paths on Magog Down which can be uneven and rutted in places. There are some gentle to moderate slopes and hills throughout the area. Paths can become muddy in places after rain, particularly in woodland sections or on clay-capped parts of the chalk. Suitable for most abilities, with good accessibility on many main routes in this Cambridgeshire location.
