Haslingfield is a lovely, traditional village about 4 miles southwest of the city boundary. It is far enough out that it feels like a village, but close enough to offer easy access to Cambridge, the A10 or the M11. For cyclists there is a network of bridleways and permissive routes to Grantchester, Trumpington, and Harston.

Within the village there is a preschool and local primary school rated good by Ofsted, there is also a post office and general store, village cafe and a delicatessen. The thriving community has various sporting and social clubs, groups and societies. There is a village hall, pub, excellent playground, recreation ground and separate skate park.
