Fish & Chips

A fish and chip van visits Stow-cum-Quy on Wednesday evenings at “around” 7.15pm/7.30pm and parks up this end of Main Street (see map). It plays a distinctive tune when it’s on it’s way but this can not be heard from the Coach House!!

Public Transport

There is a bus that runs through Quy to Cambridge and Newmarket. The bus stop can be found on foot by turning right out of the driveway and then turning right down a gravelled pathway on the left hand side of no. 19. This takes you to the main road. Turn right and just outside the Church on the opposite side of the road is the bus stop for Cambridge, opposite is for Newmarket. Timetables are supplied in The Coach House. Parking in Cambridge If you are going for a site seeing tour of Cambridge, Park and Ride is probably the easiest way to get into the city. The nearest Park and Ride is a short distance from Quy on Newmarket Road. Turn right out of Orchard Street and head towards the A14/Cambridge. Turn right at the traffic lights and head into the left hand lane at the roundabout. Go straight over onto the A1303 to Cambridge (this is Newmarket Road). At the next roundabout go straight over and head onto the right hand lane. This is the lane for the Park and Ride. This service is £2.00 per person.

There are around 4 main well signposted Car Parks in the centre of Cambridge and are approximately £1.60 per hour. Please note that these and the traffic entering Cambridge gets extremely busy at peak times and weekends.
