Location - Dry Drayton is a charming hamlet situated on rising ground just 5 miles to the Northwest of Cambridge. It is a village, which has remained relatively unspoilt by any large scale development and where, to a certain extent, time has stood still. It is highly underrated and to the villagers, a well kept secret. Communications are first class with easy access to the M11, A14 and the A428 to the west and the village is eminently suited for access to the University, Science Parks, Madingley Park & Ride, and Cambridge North Station. It is also connected to Cambridge by the new off-road cycle way.

For individual and families alike, there is a wonderful sense of community with many community events organised in the village throughout the year, including live music, curry nights, coffee mornings, craft markets, pub quizzes, fun runs, exercise classes, art classes and an advent trail amongst others. The village also runs a marquee hiring business, which runs on village volunteers, producing funds for the local primary school. A weekend coffee /cake stand has also recently opened.

The primary school within the village is very well regarded and supported. For secondary schooling, the village is in the very fortunate position to be within the catchment areas for Impington Village College, which is Ofted rated as 'good', Comberton Village College and Cambourne Village College, both of which are Ofsted rated as 'outstanding'.

There is also and active village public house, church and a nearby farm shop. There are wonderful country walks around the village including one that will take you to Madingley where you can visit The Three Horseshoes gastropub or if you prefer, take lunch or afternoon tea at Madingley Hall. Bar Hill and the Tesco Superstore is a 15 minute walk. Dry Drayton Industrial Estate about 1 mile out of the village, is set within old farm buildings and offers a gym, a martial arts centre, a florist, Chinese takeaway, a patisserie, amongst many others.
