About

Caldecote ward encompasses the villages of Caldecote, Highfields, and Childerley.

The ward's landscape is largely flat, typical of the surrounding Cambridgeshire countryside, and is intersected by several minor roads connecting the settlements.

The historic core of Caldecote village centres around its medieval church and former manor site. A specific local feature is the Childerley Estate, a private historic parkland with a manor house dating to the 16th century, which remains a significant but secluded landholding. The ward's economy is primarily residential, with many residents working in Cambridge or at the nearby Cambourne business park.
