It is approachable from the Fulbourn end at the back of the Nature reserve; or from the A14 lay-by on the west-bound lane, where the A14 cuts the Dyke. The Balsham end is wooded, not great for butterflies. To be honest I doubt there will be too much to see in the way of butterflies in the next month - but it is a great walk with lots of other wildlife. (Not sure it is exactly push-chair friendly though as the path is narrow on top of the bank, with one or two breaks with steps up and down.. But at least, unlike the Devils Dyke at Newmarket, there is no dog-shit!)bugmadmark wrote:Sussex Kipper wrote: I might need to learn some basics though, as it will be mighty embarrassing if I'm holding it at the wrong end!![]()

Hi Nick
I want to take a look at Fleam Dyke - I'm working at Addenbrookes for 1 more month so it's only up road from where I work so I'm thinking of taking a look one lunchtime. Which end of Fleam is best to check for butterflies? Also, is the area reasonably - I'm thinking if weather ok this w/end I may ventrue out - but I've 3 kids - 1 of which is 'tied' to his pushchair. All are into butterflies - honest! Mark.
Good to get acquainted with for next season!
Nick
