About

Queen Edith's ward lies in the southern part of the city, primarily a residential area characterised by quiet streets and a mix of housing from different eras. It is bordered by the grounds of Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus to the east, a major employment and research hub. The area contains several local shopping parades catering to daily needs, with Cherry Hinton Road serving as a central artery.

The ward encompasses the former village of Queen Edith's, with its namesake church and a distinct sense of community separate from the university centre. Open spaces include Wulfstan Way playing fields and the linear parkland of Hobson's Brook. The area is also known for the Rockery, a small, secluded public garden on Wulfstan Way created from landscaped chalk quarry workings.
