Great Shelford/Stapleford living

Hello all,

Me and my husband are looking at properties in Great Shelford/Stapleford. We've been to the area, absolutely love it, we have been a few times to look at it as well as view houses. But living somewhere is different to visiting. It's rural (fine with us, close to cambridge which is great and it has a train station, which is a bonus).

Does anyone from there or live there have like it, recommend the area etc. Also London Road (A1301), how busy does that get during the peak times?

Thanks for you help!

Recommendations for secondary schools in Cambridgeshire?

Hi all. Looking for recs for great secondary schools in Cambridgeshire please! Looking for a school with kind and friendly kids, good standards of behaviour and low tolerance of bullying. Our 11 year old son is a really good kid and we are relocating from America (originally from England but new to Cambs) so it is a huge transition. I want to make sure we find him a good place to make new friends and feel settled.

Moving to St Neots - is it on a noisy flight path?

We're looking at buying a house in the Love's Farm area of St Neots and just trying to find out if there's a flight path over it and, if so, if there's any plane noise.

I've checked all over and can't find any information but did see a few articles from 2020ish about a flight path change.

Also, to be cheeky, if there's anything else we should know about the area, that would be awesome! ā˜ŗļø

Calling all Fen-Dwellers

Hey everyone! šŸ…

I'm working on a zine all about the Fen Tigers and their rebellious spirit, and Iā€™d love to team up with some of you! The plan is to dive into the history of the Fen Tigers in the first half, and then explore what it means to be a modern-day Fen Tiger in the second half.

So, if youā€™ve got that Fen Tiger vibe, care about the biodiversity of the fens, or have thoughts on rewilding and rewetting the land, Iā€™m all ears!

Iā€™m looking for stories, artwork, poems, rants, photosā€”anything that connects to the fens, both past and future. Letā€™s make something wild and wonderful together.

If youā€™re up for contributing, or know someone who is or just want to chat, or ask some questions drop me a message on here or my Instagram (@fen.folk)

Letā€™s create something that really captures the spirit of the fens!

TY! šŸŒ¾

FEN TIGER šŸ…

Imagine this: the 17th-century Fenlandsā€”a wild, soggy stretch of England where rebellion was as common as rain. Even before the 1600s, the fens were a refuge for anyone sticking a finger up to authority. Back in the 1100s, Hereward the Wake turned Ely into his HQ, fighting the Normans with a bunch of Anglo-Saxon outlaws who eventually settled down and became fen dwellers themselves.

Fast forward 500 years, and that same rebellious streak came roaring back. Enter the Fen Tigersā€”locals who fought tooth and nail against the drainage workers trying to turn their marshland into farmland. They torched reed beds, sabotaged dykes, and made life hell for anyone threatening their way of life. But despite their fierce resistance, they watched helplessly as their world was drained away, leaving them with nothing but their untameable spirit.

Moving to St. Neots

Hi, we're considering moving to St. Neots due to the affordability of buying a house, and we found it to be clean, nice, and calm (based on a few visits). We both work remotely. Could you share your thoughts on what it's like to live in this city?

Looking for info on the maxey castle

Hello all! My family and I who live in the States are planing a trip to England, Ireland, Scotland, the whole usual tourist experience. My surname is maxey and I've done a little (not much) research on the "Maxey Castle" in Cambridgeshire and was wondering if it was possible to visit the area during our vacation. Possibly inquire on a little history of the area if at all possible. Thanks for any info!

Seeking Advice: Considering a move from London to St Neots/Huntingdon

Hi everyone,

My partner and I are currently based in North London, and we're exploring the possibility of moving to St Neots or Huntingdon, aiming for a better lifestyle and more affordable housing.

I havenā€™t visited yet but I am planning a trip there in a few weekends. From what Iā€™ve seen online, both St Neots and Huntingdon look lovely, and the train connections to London are ideal since I occasionally need to commute for work.

I would really appreciate any insights from locals about life in St Neots and Huntingdon. Are there specific neighbourhoods you'd recommend or perhaps some to avoid?

Thanks in advance!

Peterborough (and surrounding areas) wildlife photography

Hi guys, Iā€™m an amateur landscape photographer and Iā€™ve recently moved to Peterborough and Iā€™m struggling to get my photography fix locally.

I know the surrounding areas are not well known for landscape photography (unless anyone knows any hidden gems they can share šŸ˜‰) so Iā€™m thinking about trying my hand at wildlife photographyā€¦. Are there any photographers on here that can recommend any decent locations or even hides locally? Bonus points if you know any good pro wildlife photographers locally that offer workshops/121s!

Happy to travel within an hour of Peterborough max

Thanks

Old Motorway restaurant

Hi all,

Back in Cambs for the holidays and while driving home I remembered there used to be a roadside, western-themed restaurant called The Ponderosa - does anyone remember this?

Apologies, cannot for the life of me remember exactly where it was!

Where to live near Hinxton?

Where would be suitable places to live to commute to Hinxton? Probably willing to commute 45mins. Iā€™d prefer to live somewhere with a bit of life if possible and the cheaper the better obviously, but I understand that might be asking too much.

The catch is I canā€™t drive. Iā€™m not convinced about cycling either as I think Iā€™d get myself killed on the roads (thereā€™s a reason I canā€™t drive - total lack of situational awareness). How reliable are the trains? Any suggestions? Thank you for any suggestions!
