About

Girton ward encompasses the village of Girton alongside several smaller settlements and surrounding farmland. The area is primarily residential with a mix of older cottages and modern housing developments. It is located directly northwest of Cambridge city, separated by the A14 road, which defines its southern boundary. The ward includes the University of Cambridge's Girton College, though the college itself is just outside the administrative boundary.

The village centre features local shops, a primary school, and a historic church. Large areas of the ward consist of open arable fields and pockets of woodland. A notable feature is the presence of the Girton Glebe, a designated County Wildlife Site. The overall character is that of a commuter settlement with strong community facilities, set within a working agricultural landscape.
