Soham is a growing town of around 12,000 people located in East Cambridgeshire between Ely and Newmarket, with easy access by road and rail to all the nearby towns and cities. Its history stretches back thousands of years, with archaeological evidence suggesting that the area has been inhabited since prehistoric times.

Since then, Soham has continued to grow, with several housing developments planned or in progress aimed at accommodating the area’s increasing population. This expansion is balanced with a focus on preserving the natural beauty that makes Soham unique; initiatives aimed at boosting green spaces and enhancing the town’s infrastructure promise a bright future for both current residents and newcomers. Although Soham has grown significantly over the years, it retains a small-town atmosphere that appeals to both residents and visitors.

Soham’s transport system has improved significantly in recent years, making it a convenient place to live for commuters and those seeking easy access to the surrounding area. The re-opening of Soham railway station in 2021 – after being closed for over 55 years – has been a massive boost to the town’s connectivity. The station offers regular services to Cambridge and Ely, making it ideal for those who work in the cities but prefer to live in a more rural setting…an increasingly popular trend in the past decade.

Soham also benefits from good road links, with the A142 connecting directly to Ely and Newmarket. The nearby A14 provides access to Cambridge, Ipswich, and beyond, and bus services offer regular routes to the local area if public transport is your preferred option.

Today, Soham has evolved into a well-rounded community, offering a wide range of facilities and amenities, including various shops, a sports centre, a bowls club, a non-league football club, a library, a doctors’ surgery, and a drama club. For sports enthusiasts, Soham Town Rangers F.C., the town’s football club, plays in the lower tiers of English football and has a dedicated local following. The King’s Meadow community hub serves as a focal point for various local events and activities, fostering a strong sense of community.

Within the town, there are a number of annual events that bring residents together. The Soham Carnival and Heavy Horse Show, held every May, is one of the most popular events in the town’s calendar, attracting visitors from across the region. The event features traditional carnival rides, a parade, and a variety of craft stalls. Additionally, the town holds regular markets, where local traders sell everything from fresh produce to handmade goods.

The nearby towns of Newmarket and Ely provide a further range of amenities, such as shops, hotels, restaurants, and leisure facilities (including health clubs, a swimming pool and a golf club). Newmarket is famous for thoroughbred horses and boasts two separate racetracks with quality horses competing throughout the season. The racetrack also hosts regular music events throughout the summer months, which are hugely popular.

If you are moving to Soham with children (or hoping to have them) and looking for schools, the area has a range of educational facilities that cater to children from nursery age through to secondary school. The main secondary school, Soham Village College, is a comprehensive school with a strong reputation for both academic achievement and extracurricular activities. In fact, it achieved a rating of Outstanding in its most recent (and previous) Ofsted inspection.

In addition to Soham Village College, the town has several primary schools, including St. Andrew’s C of E Primary School and The Weatheralls Primary School, both of which are well-regarded by the local community. Early childhood education is supported by a number of nurseries and preschools, meaning you are spoilt for choice.

Soham offers a range of shopping facilities, catering to both daily needs and more specialist tastes. The town’s High Street is home to several independent shops and local businesses, including butchers, florists, and small grocery stores. There is also a larger co-op, Budgens and Asda supermarket, providing more extensive grocery options.

In terms of dining, Soham has a variety of eateries to suit different tastes – and there are several that we can highly recommend. For traditional British fare, pubs such as The Cherry Tree and The Fountain Inn serve up classic hearty meals. Along with several Indian restaurants, there are also a number of cafés and takeaways. You certainly are spoilt for choice.
