About

The Papworth, Caxton & Fen Drayton area is characterised by a mix of open farmland and smaller settlements. The villages are set around the A428 corridor, with Papworth Everard being the largest. The landscape is largely agricultural, with fields giving way to pockets of woodland. The area has a practical connection to the nearby Cambridge Biomedical Campus, providing a residential base for some commuters.

Fen Drayton lies closer to the River Great Ouse floodplain, with a series of restored gravel pits now forming the RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes nature reserve. This network of waterways and reedbeds is a significant habitat for wildfowl. The historical coaching stop of Caxton is named for its famous gibbet, a landmark on the old London road. The overall feel is one of separate villages within a working rural setting.
