Foxton

Foxton ward encompasses the village of Foxton and its surrounding rural landscape. The area is defined by its position along the River Rhee, with the main railway line to London forming a prominent boundary. Agricultural land and pockets of woodland characterise the open spaces between settlements. The local economy has historical ties to farming, though many residents now commute to Cambridge or other employment centres.

The village itself centres on a traditional high street with a mix of residential properties. A notable feature is the manually operated level crossing gates at the railway station, one of the last of its kind in regular use on the national network. Community life includes a primary school, village hall, and several local pubs, serving a population that has grown with some newer housing developments while retaining a distinct identity.
