Visitors are reminded that bicycles are not permitted along the Devil's Dyke as they can cause significant damage to the monument, particularly on the slopes. Dog walkers are also reminded to use the dog litterbins that are provided at various points along the Dyke. Leaflets about Devil's Dyke that include a map as well as plenty of useful information about wildlife and history of the monument are now available free of charge. These can either be downloaded here or requested via e-mail. They are also available at local libraries & Tourist Information Centres at Newmarket and Cambridge.

A Devil's Dyke Walks leaflet can also be obtained from Cambridgeshire County Council's Environment Policy and Projects Service. Please call 01223 717701.

The leaflet is also available here in a variety of fomats. As the leaflet is designed to be folded some of the text in the pdf and jpeg versions appears upside down. The figures in brackets below give the approximate file size. An online text only version is also available.

Please note that the contact details for the Devil's Dyke Restoration Project given in the jpeg versions of the leaflet are not up to date. The correct details are on the text only version and on our contact page.
