About

Arbury ward lies in the north of Cambridge, bordered by the A14 to the west and Histon Road to the east. It is primarily a residential area characterised by post-war housing estates, with a mix of semi-detached homes, terraced houses, and some low-rise flats. The ward includes the neighbourhoods of Arbury and King's Hedges, with local amenities centred along Arbury Road and Campkin Road, providing shops, schools, and community facilities.

The area features the large King's Hedges Recreation Ground, a significant green space with sports pitches and a children's play area. Arbury is also home to the Cambridge Regional College, a major further education institution. Historically, the name King's Hedges references medieval field boundaries, a detail reflected in some local road names, connecting the modern estate to the area's agricultural past.
