The village is only five miles from Cambridge
A village that is perfect for commuting gives people a hint of the city life, while enjoying a countryside life. Cambridge is often considered to be a sought-after location for high paid jobs.
However, living in the city comes at a high price. So, for those who want to live close to work without spending all their money on rent, they’ll need a place that is a good commuting destination. A village perfect for this is Comberton, only five miles from Cambridge, with around 2,400 residents.
The village’s name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon period, meaning Cumbra’s Farm. Comberton is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Parts of St Mary’s Church in the village are over 800 years old, and some houses date back to the 14th century. The village streets are filled with big homes and tall trees.
There is much on offer in the village for people, including shops, schools and a friendly community pub. The village pub is The Three Horseshoes, a family-friendly pub that brings a great atmosphere to locals. Staff are said to be welcoming and it offers a wide range of drinks and snacks.
The village schools also cater up to 16 years old, as there is a primary school and village college. For any sporty people, they can also take advantage of the CB3 Health and Fitness facility.
With so much on the doorstep, Comberton has plenty to offer, in a quieter and more rural setting.
