About

Arbury sits in the north of Cambridge, in Cambridgeshire, and is primarily a residential district. Much of the area was laid out in the mid-20th century as council housing, with a street pattern that places pockets of housing around small greens and pedestrian paths. Arbury Road and Campkin Road are the main thoroughfares cutting through the neighbourhood, and the estate sits between Histon Road to the west and the inner suburbs to the south. Housing ranges from terraced and semi-detached houses to low-rise blocks, reflecting successive phases of build and infill.

Local life centres on small shopping parades and community facilities rather than large commercial hubs. Campkin Road contains a cluster of shops and the Arbury Community Centre, and there are primary schools serving the neighbourhood. Open spaces and recreation grounds are interwoven with the streets, and allotment strips sit near some of the residential blocks. The layout of linked footpaths makes walking across the estate straightforward, and community noticeboards around the centre mark local events and services.
