Comberton Village

The village of Comberton is about 6 miles from the historic university city of Cambridge, in the East Anglia region of England. It has a population of about 2300. It lies less than a kilometer from the Greenwich Meridian, so its Lat/Long is roughly 52°N, 0°E (more precisely it is 52°12'N, 0°01'N). The National Grid Reference for the crossroads in the centre of the village is TL382563, at an altitude of 29m. See the village web site for more information.

I have drafted a document on the Lot Way in Comberton
as a Lost Highway to be re-established.

Comberton parish is very short of public footpaths and tracks.
I have sketched out a set of blue sky ideas for new path routes.
