Jubilee Copse

The woodland around Jubilee Copse, just east of Huntingdon, is a proper tonic if you're camping nearby and fancy something greener than the usual caravan park amenities. It's the kind of place where you can walk without much fuss - no entrance fees, no tickets to worry about, just trees and paths that do what they're meant to do.

Walking through here feels immediate. The cover's thick enough that you'll lose the open sky quickly, which is either exactly what you want or not what you want, depending on whether you came for shelter or views. The paths are reasonable underfoot, nothing that'll trouble most people, though after rain you'll want decent boots. Allow an hour for a gentle meander, longer if you're the sort who stops to identify birds or photographs fungi.

Families with young kids will find it absorbs energy well enough - there's room to move about and it's safe from traffic. Walkers heading out from St Neots or Huntingdon will appreciate it as a proper woodland walk rather than just a park circuit. History buffs won't find much to chew on here, but that's fine - not everywhere needs a backstory.

The real value emerges if you're based at one of the local parks - Grafham Water Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite is only 2.5 miles away, St Neots site a bit further. Break up a static holiday with a morning walk, clear your head, then head back for lunch. It's unpretentious and that's its strength.
