Arrington is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set amid rolling arable countryside on the county’s southern edge not far from the Hertfordshire border. It occupies a quiet rural setting with views towards low chalk ridges that tie into the slopes of the Chilterns and is within easy driving distance of market towns and the city of Cambridge.
The village has medieval origins with a parish church and a handful of listed houses and farmsteads that reflect its long agricultural history. Farming remains important locally, but many residents commute to centres such as Cambridge or London, while community life is centred on the church, village hall and the occasional local event, giving Arrington a characterful, close‑knit feel.
