Fowlmere

Fowlmere is a village in southwest Cambridgeshire.

Get in

By bus

The village is served by the 31 bus throughout most of the day, Monday to Saturday; a return from Cambridge costs £3.50 (c. May 2010). The last bus to leave the village towards Cambridge departs from the village centre at 15:00.

By train

Foxton railway station is located just under 3 miles (4.5 km) north of Fowlmere; First Capital Connect run services to and from the station to London and Cambridge every hour, with a more frequent half-hourly service during morning and afternoon peak periods. The distance between the station and Fowlmere is easily coverable by bike (follow traffic signs for Foxton, then Fowlmere) or on foot—the latter using a public footpath through a small nature reserve (note: not Fowlmere Nature Reserve, but Foxton Wood Nature Reserve).

By car

Fowlmere is accessible by car, but offers few locations to park. One public car park exists, beyond the primary school on The Butts; signage for this car park is poor. Parking on the road is discouraged, and parking on the pavement may be illegal (depending on location) and will disturb local residents and users of the pavement.

gollark: I don't think so. But IIRC he said he *might* continue to, although we resolved that in the conference.
gollark: I don't know if he did say directly "please don't", although I'd think being blocked is a fairly strong signal.
