THE QUARTER-TO-SIX QUADRANT

The QTSQ is the name given to the rural area lying immediately south and west of Cambridge, a mile or two from the built-up edge of the City.  It lies mainly, but not wholly, within the four parishes of Barton, Coton, Grantchester and Madingley.

 

VISION

In early 2012 the four Parish Councils produced their draft “vision” for the area; this was put out to extensive public consultation in March & April; updated in the light of comments received; formally endorsed by the Parish Councils; and presented to South Cambridgeshire District Council, Cambridge City Council and Cambridgshire County Council in May 2012.  SCDC confirmed that it would be a Material Planning Consideration where relevant.  Click to download the main document + appendix 1 and appendices 2-4.  For reference, here is the Consultation Draft (main document and appendices) and the comments received during the consultation exercise.

ENJOYING THE QTSQ
There is a huge network of inter-connecting paths in the QTSQ, and we have produced a glossy A3-sized brochure/map showing them all.  Please:
  • click on Wonderful Walks and Rural Runs to download an reduced-size A4 version that you can print-off at home; or
  • send an email to the contact details below and we will post you the glossy version.

Some favourite individual routes will follow shortly.
