Trumpington

About

Trumpington is a residential area located directly south of Cambridge's city centre, bounded by the River Cam and the M11 motorway. The ward is characterised by a mix of housing, from older village cottages near the High Street to extensive modern developments like the Trumpington Meadows and Clay Farm estates. It functions largely as a commuter suburb, with good transport links into the city and towards the biomedical campus.

A significant portion of the ward is occupied by the University of Cambridge's research facilities, including the University Library and the West Cambridge site. The former Trumpington Hall estate now forms the Cambridge University Botanic Garden's satellite plant nursery. The area retains a distinct historical core around the 12th-century Church of St Mary and St Michael, with its celebrated medieval brass.
