About

The Mordens ward encompasses the villages of Great Morden, Little Morden, and the hamlet of Tadlow, situated in the rural western edge of South Cambridgeshire. The landscape is predominantly agricultural, characterised by open arable fields and gently rolling countryside. Settlement is focused around the historic cores of the villages, with a mix of traditional cottages and more modern housing developments. The area maintains a quiet, residential character, with local community life centred around village halls and parish churches.

The ward is defined by its proximity to the ancient Roman road of Ermine Street, which forms part of its eastern boundary. This historical route underscores the area's long-standing position within the wider agricultural region. Public transport links are limited, reinforcing a sense of separation from larger towns. Local amenities are basic, serving immediate needs, with residents typically travelling to nearby market towns for more comprehensive services and employment opportunities.
