Cambridge University Botanicals Garden Walk

Location: Cambridge
Date: Sunday 3 October 2010

Time: Registration begins at 10:30am, Please enter the gardens via the Brookside Gate. There is limited pay-as-you-go parking outside the gardens so we strongly advise all participants to use Park & Ride.

Where? The walk is a circular route with a number of pathways that can be varied to take in the various sights and experiences of the garden. All participants will be given a map of the gardens; the map will indicate the route and areas of interest. Marshals will be strategically positioned to assist.

What will I need to take? Participants are advised to provide their own refreshments, however, there is an on site café available to all walkers.

Is there anything else I need to know?

• Toilet facilities are available at the entrance of the gardens.
• The gardens are of natural beauty and many flowers, plants and trees have historical value therefore care must be taken when viewing these.
• Keep to paths and grass so to avoid planted beds.
• Taking cuttings is strictly forbidden.
• Children must be supervised at all times.
• The pathways are gravel, grass or wood chippings; the surface in some areas may be slightly uneven. During wet weather the grass areas will be muddy therefore due care is necessary.
