Location - Meldreth
Meldreth is a particularly vibrant parish village in the South Cambridgeshire area, nestled in lush countryside 6 miles away from the town of Royston and 10 miles from the city of Cambridge. The village, once famous for its fruit production, is home to several orchards and farm shops, where locally produced fruit and vegetables are still grown and sold, the most famous being the Meldreth greengage.

The village offers a plethora of ways to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, with local nature reserves and walks following winding streams and rivers. The British Queen is a traditional village pub and is very highly regarded locally, offering a friendly and relaxing vibe, with homemade, locally sourced and seasonal cuisine.

Meldreth also benefits from its own railway station, with regular services to both Cambridge and London, and there is a wide range of amenities, including recreation grounds, a village hall which is available for hire, a convenience store, a veterinary surgery, a primary school, and doctor’s surgeries in neighbouring villages. Situated northeast of the village, the Holy Trinity Church was dedicated in the 15th Century and offers regular services for residents.

Since Royston is also very close, residents have access to the many other amenities the town has to offer, such as the leisure centre, sports clubs, dentist’s surgeries, and highly-regarded schools for all ages. The A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive via the A10/A505, and London Stansted and Luton Airports are both 30-minutes away.

We highly recommend visiting the vibrant village of Meldreth to see for yourself what there is on offer. You won’t be disappointed!
