About

Cambourne ward is a planned community located approximately nine miles west of Cambridge city centre. It is composed of three main villages: Great Cambourne, Lower Cambourne, and Upper Cambourne. The area features extensive residential housing, business parks, and retail centres designed to be largely self-contained. A significant amount of the surrounding land is dedicated to open green spaces, sports fields, and community walking paths that connect the neighbourhoods.

A central feature of the area is the large artificial lake situated between the villages, which serves as a focal point for recreation. The community includes several primary schools, a secondary school, and a library, supporting its resident population. Public transport connections primarily consist of bus services linking the ward to Cambridge and nearby towns, reflecting its design as a commuter settlement within the rural district.
