Meldreth is a highly popular and thriving village, about 7 miles southwest of Cambridge and about 4 miles north of the Hertfordshire market town of Royston. Its appeal to many is that it provides the immediate facilities so many villages have lost. It has a general shop/post office as well as a farm shop, butcher, hairdresser, take-away, a very popular pub and a sought after primary school. There is a well equipped recreation ground with a children’s playground, tennis courts and football pitch. The village hall hosts a full calendar of events and activities including film nights. There is a bowling club also. The village has an excellent network of footpaths which also pass through Melwood, a village Nature Reserve.

Commuting links to London and Cambridge are exceptional, with a mainline railway station to Kings Cross in the village and excellent road access by the A10 and A505 linking both the M11 and A1(M). The neighbouring larger village of Melbourn can be walked to and provides further shops, community facilities and a secondary school. Melbourn Science Park is a major employment area.

It is the right side of the city for Cambridge's many high-achieving private schools which are easily reached by road or rail.

For leisure the village is surrounded by open countryside with numerous rural footpaths and bridleways. There are at least 7 golf clubs within 10 miles. Royston provides gyms and a swimming pool and there are luxury health clubs in Cambridge and outside Baldock. The National Trust's Wimpole Estate is 6 miles north and the neighbouring village of Shepreth has a wildlife park. The famous Sheene Mill restaurant in Melbourn can be walked to and Cambridge provides world-class food, drink, and culture.
