Bourn is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying roughly west of Cambridge and set along the shallow valley of the Bourn Brook. The settlement has a traditional village feel with a green and narrow lanes surrounded by arable farmland, and a compact historic core centred on its parish church and a few old cottages and inns.
Historically rural with roots stretching back to the medieval period, Bourn combines agriculture with modern local enterprise; the former Bourn Airfield on the village’s edge is now used for small businesses and has been part of wider development discussions. The community is active for its size, with a village hall, primary school, pub and annual events that underline its strong local identity while many residents commute into nearby Cambridge for work.
