Duxford is a compact parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying a few miles south of Cambridge. The village core of historic cottages and lanes sits amid arable farmland, hedgerows and recreational footpaths, so it feels distinctly rural while remaining well connected to the city and nearby transport routes.
Its best-known feature is the former RAF airfield, now home to the Imperial War Museum Duxford and an active aerodrome, which attracts air shows, visitors and occasional film work and plays an outsized role in the local economy and identity. Agriculture and commuting also shape daily life, and the parish retains a lively community spirit through its village hall, pub and regular local events that reflect both its history and its links to the wider Cambridge area.
