Discover Pidley

Pidley offers specific local points of interest to help you plan a trip: the blue plaque at the village hall, the granite war memorial and the Church of All Saints. Other ideas include golf and bowling at Lakeside Lodge, breakfast at the Rookery Café and the walk from Warboys to Somersham. This lets you distinguish historical themes in the village from activity and dining details, and tailor your stay accordingly.

Golf and bowling

Lakeside Lodge Golf & Country Club offers the 18-hole Lodge Course as a par-72 golf course in the Cambridgeshire countryside. If golf is part of your trip plans, you can consider the course as an activity amid the Cambridgeshire countryside.

Lakeside Lodge also has ten-pin bowling on four full-size lanes. Golf and bowling therefore offer two different types of activity: on one hand, the 18-hole course; on the other, the four-lane bowling facility. You can compare these details directly when planning, depending on which type of activity interests you. The options are clearly distinct: the golf course has 18 holes and a par of 72, while the bowling facility has four full-size lanes.

Breakfast featuring a named ingredient

The Rookery Café serves freshly prepared breakfasts every morning, featuring sausages from local butcher Johnsons of Old Hurst. If you would like to support local businesses at breakfast, you can look out for butcher Johnsons of Old Hurst.

Cricket commemoration and village memorial

A blue plaque to Charlotte Edwards MBE CBE can be seen above the fire door of Pidley village hall. It commemorates Edwards’ ten-year tenure as captain of the England women’s national cricket team, from 2006 to 2016. The name, honours and dates make the occasion precise: the plaque recognises a clearly defined period in her career. For visitors interested in cricket and local history, it is a specific historical point of interest.

The village’s granite war memorial is to the right of the footpath.

Church and further planning

The Church of All Saints is in Pidley. Rookery Waters is at Fen Road in Pidley, Huntingdon, PE28 3DF. This gives you both a local church reference and a precise street address to use for orientation.

The walk from Warboys to Somersham is 4.8 miles (7.6 kilometres) long. The stated walking time is three hours, plus breaks. Distance and walking time answer different planning questions: the kilometre figure gives the length of the route, while the time refers to walking time alone. Since breaks are additional, the walking time is not the total duration of the outing. You can use both figures together to gauge whether the length of the walk suits your trip plans.
