About

Bassingbourn and the Mordens encompass a cluster of villages in South Cambridgeshire — Bassingbourn, Steeple Morden and Guilden Morden — lying close to the county boundary with Hertfordshire. The area is shaped by arable fields, country lanes and a network of footpaths that link churches, village halls and small shops. Kneesworth House, a large historic estate at the edge of Bassingbourn, marks one side of the village while the former RAF Bassingbourn airfield with its wartime hard standings and perimeter tracks remains a visible feature in the landscape and a point of local memory.

Local life revolves around parish activities, village pubs, sports clubs and seasonal events that use the halls and greens. Archaeology surfaces in everyday places: Guilden Morden is known for an early medieval boar figure found locally and now recorded in museum collections. Farming remains prominent, and lanes threaded between hedgerows carry walkers and cyclists through a patchwork of fields and small woodlands that define the scale and character of the community.
