Babraham is a small historic village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying roughly five miles south‑east of Cambridge. Set in rolling agricultural countryside, it retains a compact core of older stone and brick buildings clustered around a parish church and the parkland of the old estate.
While quietly picturesque, the village is notable for the presence of a major life‑sciences research campus on the former estate, which brings a strong scientific and economic link with nearby Cambridge. The mix of country living, historic houses and a research economy gives Babraham an unusual local character for such a small settlement.
