Geocache Description:

Bishop's Way: 7-9 mile walk through Ely, Chettisham and Little
Downham along medieval lanes, passing the site of the former
Bishop's country palace.

Most of the route follows grassy droves which can become very
muddy in the winter.

(this section has recently had a dressing of stones and it looks
driveable but the hedges narrow to a point where it is impossible
to get a car from one end to the other)



Green lanes, which form most of the walk, and the meadows at Chettisham are rich in wildlife. The lanes are bordered by trees and hedges which maybe 600 years old. They offer food and shelter to many common birds such as blackbirds and thrushes and to rarer ones like the wren. Look out for herons, kestrels, kingfishers, warblers and buntings. Field ditches provide wet conditions needed by bulrushes, water crowfoots and marsh marigold. In the summer you can see dragon flies over the water and butterflies feeding off the flowering plants of the grassy lanes.
