Hardwick is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, lying a few miles west of Cambridge. It sits amid largely arable countryside with a compact historic core of stone and brick cottages and farm buildings, giving a distinctly rural feel despite its proximity to the city.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a strong local community with a village hall, social events and a pub alongside some modern housing; many residents commute into Cambridge and the nearby science and technology parks, so the local economy mixes traditional farming with commuter households. Good road and bus links to the city and nearby trunk routes help make Hardwick a quiet but well-connected place to live, with a number of listed buildings and a sense of continuity with its medieval past.
