Balsham is in the district of South Cambridgeshire, the village is in the centre of the triangle formed by Cambridge (10 miles), Newmarket (10 miles) and Haverhill (8 miles), which provide the main centres of employment and shopping. There is also some small industry in the village, and several crafts and trades are pursued.

Balsham is a large parish and has lots of history, the village extends mainly along one road and has the church at the highest point. Roman roads from the west and south boundaries, Fleam Dyke is to the east, and one of the Icknield Way tracks is the northern boundary. In the Domesday, Book Balsham is called Balesham: the village of Baelli.

The housing in the village is a mixture of old cottages, some dating from the sixteenth century, interspersed with newer houses and more modern developments of Closes. The biggest expansion began in the 1960s when much of the land between the houses (fields and larger gardens), was acquired for building. The population of the village at present is about 1600.

The village has the Meadow primary school (Ofsted Good), post office, butchers, and two pubs: the Bell and the Black Bull. The local farming is mainly arable: wheat, barley, sugar beet and are the main crops, and sheep and cows are held on one farm.

The village has a thriving community with many clubs, societies and groups meeting regularly in halls and homes, and there are also football teams for several age groups and cricket teams, which all meet on the recreation fields.
