LOCATION

Northstowe is a newly built town situated between the villages of Longstanton and Willingham. It offers easy access to the A14, M11 and A1. The town is situated just next to the Guided Bus route which provides fast access into Cambridge along what was previously the train line; this service also continues to Cambridge North train station, the Science Park and Addenbrookes Hospital or westbound to St Ives. Alongside the guided bus route is a cycle path, often used by walkers and runners alike.

Northstowe benefits from several parks including a large waterpark with extensive walking and cycling routes for residents to enjoy the wildlife. Pioneer Park provides a range of outdoor exercise equipment, a children's play area, and a basketball court. There is a community cafe at the Community Centre, Northstowe Tap & Social and the newly opened Northstowe sports pavilion facilities include a bar, cafe and gym. Many sports facilities are available at the secondary college and the Western Park. There are two primary schools. The Local Centre, a planned area of retail development will create a meeting place and local facilities such as shops, cafes and a community building.
