The A1134 and A1303 route east from the ring road, passing the Leper Chapel, the Abbey Stadium and the city cemetery.
Newmarket Road is the main way out of Cambridge to the east, and takes its name from the Suffolk market town. Near the city a roundabout ties it to Elizabeth Way and East Road, and from there the street runs on towards the centre first as Maid's Causeway, then as Jesus Lane. Heading east it takes the A1303 number and goes over the A14 at a big roundabout.
South of the road is the Abbey Stadium, where Cambridge United play; the stand nearest the road is called the Newmarket Road End. The Leper Chapel of St Mary Magdalene stands close by, near the railway crossing on the Fen Line. It dates from 1125, and it is thought to be the oldest surviving building in the city. The Festival Theatre, which opened in 1816 as a Georgian theatre, also stands on the road. North of the road lies Cambridge City Cemetery, with its own brick chapel.
Cambridge Airport is south of Newmarket Road, west of Teversham. Its main building went up in 1936-37.
The Seven Stars, an early 19th-century pub at number 249, and the Indian restaurant Navadhanya at number 70 are on the road. Further out are large retail stores, in total about 740,000 square feet of shopping space, with a number of car showrooms. One entrance of the Grafton Centre opens on to the road.
