About

Waterbeach and Landbeach are neighbouring villages located north of Cambridge, separated by the A10 road and surrounded by the flat, open landscape of the Cambridgeshire Fens. The area is characterised by agricultural land, with fields stretching towards the horizon, and a network of drainage ditches and rivers defining the terrain. Historically, both settlements have economies tied to the land, with farming playing a central role in the local environment and community structure.

The villages are connected to the River Cam, which flows near Waterbeach, providing a distinct waterside aspect. A former RAF and army barracks site in Waterbeach is undergoing significant redevelopment into a new town, marking a major change for the area. Landbeach retains a more secluded feel, with its medieval moated site, known as Chapel Hill, being a notable historical feature in the otherwise rural parish.
