Castle Walk

For this walk I decided to take in some of the picturesque sights highlighted by Andrew Kershman in his book Walking Cambridge: 1,000 years of history in 8 walks. The Cambridge Evening News featured the walk in an article so I thought it would be interesting to revisit the area from a different perspective and see what litter I found along the way. Bearing in mind the streets had been cleaned earlier in the morning!

Lockdown

It felt odd visiting this area during Lockdown 3, normally I would check out the latest artwork in Kettles Yard gallery, enjoy a coffee and slice of cake, and perhaps stop for a pint of Adnams at the Castle Hill Inn.
