Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to be more active and become healthier. Getting outside and taking some time away from your desk has also been proven to have great mental health benefits.
Perhaps you could use these routes as inspiration as a stepping stone to something amazing!
Our mapped walks can be downloaded here. If you would like to start recording your progress you can also download a walking diary here.
We hope to add more walks, on and off the Park, in the coming months.
Please note that all walks are undertaken at your own risk and Granta Park accept no responsibility or liability for any loss or injury. Walkers should wear appropriate footwear/clothing and be aware of natural obstacles that one might expect to encounter on routes such as these. Take particular care on uneven surfaces. We would also remind you to take due care when traversing the public areas surrounding Granta Park.

The premises have been carefully designed to offer children a stimulating and exciting environment to play and learn in. Each room has its own secure outdoor area, offering all children interesting and challenging experiences both indoors and outdoors in all weathers. The outdoor areas have been created to develop children’s early science skills, and to help promote children’s creative and critical thinking. Kirsty Love, Head of Childcare and Operations at Sunhill Daycare, comments that the building itself ‘provides an inspirational environment for children to learn in.’
The Montessori ethos is used, alongside the Early Years Foundation Stage. Montessori focuses on the immense capacity of children to absorb information by giving them the freedom and independence to learn at their own pace. This is based on the deep understanding of the way children learn, through choosing, trying and doing things for themselves. Activities are designed to teach children independence from an early age, including self-serving their own meals, and washing up and tidying up afterwards.
Sunhill offer both 15 and 30 hours government funding for eligible children, which is stretched across 50 weeks of the year, and also accept childcare vouchers and payment via tax free childcare. A discount is also available for Granta Park employees.
More information is available online at www.sunhilldaycare.com, or alternatively contact Rosie or Dawn on 01223 892010 or grantaparknursery@sunhilldaycare.com to arrange a visit.
Tickets cost £1.50 each (single journey) and can be purchased in bulk or individually. To ride on this service you must produce one Granta Park commuter bus ticket directly to the driver. The driver is only able to sell a ticket for a genuine first journey to the Park, e.g. for the first day at a new job. The driver can only accept the correct money (£1.50) – no change can be given. A ticket for your return journey and all future journeys MUST be purchased from Granta Park.
IMPORTANT CHANGE TO CAMBRIDGE STATION BUS STOP LOCATION - Due to circumstances outside of our control we will now be collecting / dropping off passengers at an alternative bus stop outside Cambridge Train Station. The new bus stop is straight ahead of the main entrance to the train station along Station Road (on the right hand side). Please click the link to our plan for the exact location. This change comes into effect from the 1 June.
From 1 June all bus users will be required to use a face covering - either a traditional face mask or other covering that MUST cover both the nose and mouth as a minimum. Anyone not using a face covering will be denied access to any of our buses from the 1 June.
Benefits of car sharing include saving money, reducing local congestion and getting to know your colleagues. Remember you don’t need to own a car to car share, you can just search for a lift too.
We are slowly introducing ‘car share only’ parking bays across the Park; to use these you will need a permit.
Please see here for a step-by-step guide on how to register for the scheme or request a parking permit. The ‘car share only’ bays are currently available within the Parking Groves and Riverside Buildings car park.
In March 2020 we launched Smart Parking at Granta Park, this allows those who car share to authenticate their journeys via a simple app on their phones. This new authentication process now gives us an accurate representation of when the dedicated car share bays are in use, ultimately allowing us to make sure there are always enough bays to go around.
These cycle routes provide a cycle link between Cambridge and Granta Park as well as the villages to the south of Cambridge including Trumpington, Great Shelford, Stapleford, Sawston and Babraham. A Cambridge to Saffron Walden cycle map can be viewed here.
In addition to these routes, there is a 2m wide asphalt surfaced shared footway / cycleway along the northern side of the A505 between Granta Park and Whittlesford Parkway railway station approximately 4km to the southwest of the site.
A narrow 1m to 1.5m wide footway / cycleway is also provided along the northern side of the A1307 between Hildersham and Linton, to the southeast of Granta Park. This provides a cycle link from Linton, with agreement with Cambridgeshire County Council to potentially extend the route to Granta Park in the future.
If you are not keen on cycling alone, why not find a cycling partner? There is a cycle journey section available through the car share website it is free to join and will match individuals cycling the same route so they can cycle together.
Granta Park staff are also entitled to make use of Travel for Cambridgeshire discounts (further details are available on the TfC website). To use these discounts you will simply need to show some form of company I.D and state that you work on Granta Park.
If you need to contact Security please call 01223 891 369.
