Would recommend this location for traction kite flying, they have a sports field area large enough for kite buggying... with restroom facilities available in the gym close by.

Very nice big kite space, which is a rare commodity in the area.

Also has a BMX dirt trail, very well provisioned sports grounds for many sports and has a childrens playground with a water park for children of all ages to play in during the summer. Free table...

Camped at Coldham's Common during the Cambridge Folk Festival. Well organised and laid out campsite, with the parking, camping and roadways all marked out. Loos and showers were fine, could possibly have had more as a queue and wait in the morning. I had a huge amount of space to park my van. It was quiet at night.

Meadows, copses, woods and ditches. Sports pitches, relaxing pathways. Space space and more space, birdsong, wildlife - a quiet backwater of tranquility, space to relax, train, commute... Ok, you could say I enjoy walking in this park.
