About

Alconbury ward encompasses the village of Alconbury and the smaller settlement of Alconbury Weston, situated just west of the A1 road. The area is characterised by open agricultural land and a mix of residential housing. The former RAF Alconbury airbase, now a key site for the United States Air Force, significantly shapes the local landscape and community presence.

The ward includes the historic Alconbury Hill, a notable landmark. Economic activity is supported by the adjacent Alconbury Weald enterprise zone, which is developing on the old airfield lands. Local amenities centre on the village facilities, with the wider rural setting providing a distinct separation from the larger town of Huntingdon to the south.
