Soham Millennium Walks were initially created by Soham Town Council, Soham Footpaths
Society & East Cambridgeshire District Council and were born from an
original idea by Margaret Ennion
(Soham Town Council Chairman) who died of
cancer in December 1999.
They were officially opened on 30th September 2000 and now serve as a
lasting tribute to her.
The Art Trail of Waymarkers forms part of a wider project called the Soham Revival Scheme which aims to improve the centre of Soham. Soham Town Council (STC), Soham Town Forum (STF), Soham Museum Project, Soham Footpaths Society, assisted by Commissions East and Arts Development in East Cambridgeshire (ADeC) had a key role in developing the £16,000 Art Trail Project, which was financed by East Cambridgeshire District Council (ECDC) and the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) with funding from the East of England Development Agency (EEDA).
More information about the walks can be
found on a notice board on the wall surrounding St. Andrew's
Church directly opposite The
Fountain Public House or

Fountain Public House, The Library(Clay Street), The Post Office (High Street) & Soham Town Council Offices (The Pavilion) or at the Ely Tourist
