Alconbury Weald is a masterplanned new settlement created on the site of the former airfield of RAF Alconbury, situated in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England. The scheme blends new housing, schools and a business park with parkland, wetlands and cycle routes, reusing brownfield land and emphasising sustainable infrastructure while still reflecting the site’s Cold War-era military history.
The development sits close to the A1(M) and the market town of Huntingdon, about 15 miles north‑west of Cambridge and within commuting reach of London. It has attracted a mix of residents and employers - from families seeking modern homes and green space to defence, logistics and tech firms occupying the new commercial space.
