Route

Harlow to Cambridge

NCR 11 near Great Shelford, showing a double helix and a small part of the BRCA2 gene.

Harlow | Bishop Stortford | Hinxton | Sawston | Cambridge

Intersects with NCR 51 in Cambridge.

A section of path, about two kilometres long, from Great Shelford to Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, is decorated with over 10,000 lines of four colours representing the nucleotide sequence of the BRCA2 gene. This gene, implicated in early-onset breast cancer, was discovered in 1994; the discoverers included scientists from nearby Addenbrookes Hospital and The Sanger Centre, Hinxton.

This section of path also includes and commemorates the 10,000th mile of the National Cycle Network.

Cambridge to King's Lynn

Proposed development

Wicken Fen Vision Spine Route

Main article: Wicken Fen#Vision Spine Route

Route 11 currently has a gap between Cambridge and Ely. Plans are under way to complete the route with the construction of the Wicken Fen Vision Spine Route. The project involves the construction of 18 km of cycleway and of a number of bridges over the man-made waterways known as lodes.[1] The Spine Route is scheduled for completion in 2013 and has received funding of £600,000 from the Sustrans Connect2 scheme.[2]
