Vendor insight

"Hemingford Grey is a lovely place to live with footpaths all around and scenic river walks to enjoy. Being located centrally in Hemingford Grey gives us access to all the great surrounding areas and amenities, including a coffee shop, post office, shop, hairdressers, sports pavilion and the award-winning pub, The Cock. Living here gives us a peaceful retreat, but it's only a 30-minute walk into St. Ives or a 35-minute bus journey into central Cambridge. We are close to road and rail networks, which is convenient for traveling into London, up North, or on a cross-country drive to Birmingham.

I often enjoy morning walks along the river, and everything you need is close by. One of the highlights is the beautiful landscape that offers a serene environment while still being connected to larger cities."
