Welcome To Histon
by FTM

Getting Here: Beware the A14! It is an absolute pig of a road, especially
during the rush hour. So if you are visiting for an evening kick off you should
allow yourself plenty of time. Saturdays aren't usually too bad. There is
no parking at the football club due to limited space. There is dedicated
parking within a short walk of the ground for a small charge. Check out
this map
for details.
The ground is located just North of the A14 at J32. Southerners: come off the
M11 at Girton J14 and follow A14 to Newmarket. Northerners: stay on the
A14, bearing West, to Newmarket before it turns into the M11.
If you have one of those posh sat nav things then the post code you need to
enter is CB24 9PH. |

For those getting the train, you will arrive at Cambridge Station. The
Citi 7 bus will take you directly to Histon and the bus ride is about half an
hour. Bus times to get your last train home are
here.
Taxis are available at the station. Panther Taxis are the local big firm: 01223 715715. |
Making a Weekend Of It: Why not bring the family too? There is
punting on the River Cam. There are several pubs and restaurants in the city.
Favourites of mine for real ale are The Mitre, The Pickerel and The Castle (on
Castle St, not Regent St). The old college and university buildings in Cambridge
are a big attraction. King's College Chapel is well worth seeing. What city
needs a cathedral when there is that? But if you want to see an ancient
cathedral then Ely is just 30 mins up the road. There are small zoos at Shepreth
and Linton, and there are good visitor centres at
Wicken Fen
and
Welney Wildfowl
Centre
.
