Location

Cherry Hinton is a thriving, sought-after suburb just south-east of the city. It is incredibly well served by an excellent range of shops, restaurants, takeaways public houses plus leisure and health facilities including the well-regarded David Lloyd Health and Tennis Club. There is also a major Tesco supermarket off Yarrow Road. Cherry Hinton is currently undergoing an £11 million development, which includes the restructuring of the commercial space on the High Street and Colville Road, producing more space for shops and parking. A new hub at the library is also in the plans with a new café and garden.

There are various primary schools, which feed into Netherhall secondary school.

The area is highly popular with commuters thanks to its excellent access to Addenbrooke's (1.5 miles), Cambridge railway station (2 miles) and on to the city centre (3.5 miles) and also with those looking for a traditional community with excellent day-to-day facilities that feels close to the city but retains its own identity. There is also a designated cycle / pedestrian path called the Fulbourn Greenway, which links the village with the newly built Chisholm trail, taking cyclist and pedestrians safely into the Mill Road and mainline station area of Cambridge.

Cherry Hinton benefits from having excellent bus links into the centre of Cambridge and easy access on to the A14 for east-west travel and onto the A11 and M11 to London.
