Location

Conington is a small, peaceful village in South Cambridgeshire, perfectly positioned for rural living with outstanding access to Cambridge and fast London rail links. Located directly off the A1307 and just 2 miles from the upgraded A428, the village offers swift connections to Cambridge (approximately 8 miles, 15-20 minutes), the A1(M) at the Black Cat roundabout (10 miles), St Neots and Huntingdon.
Rail travel is excellent, with Cambridge station only 8 miles away providing frequent services to London King's Cross (from 48 minutes) and Liverpool Street, plus direct trains to Stansted Airport; St Neots and Huntingdon stations, both within 9-10 miles, deliver services to King's Cross in under 50 minutes.
Everyday amenities are found in nearby Cambourne (3 miles), which has major supermarkets, medical and dental practices, a library and leisure facilities. The village itself retains its quiet, traditional character with a pretty parish church and open countryside on the doorstep.
Education is a particular strength: local primaries include Eltisley and The Newton, with Cambourne Village College (Ofsted Good) for secondary years. Many of the country's leading independent schools lie within easy reach, including The Perse School, The Leys, St Mary's Cambridge, Stephen Perse Foundation, St Faith's, Kimbolton School and, slightly further, the Bedford schools, most reachable in 20-30 minutes.
