Harston is a compact village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying a few miles south of Cambridge. It sits among arable fields and country lanes on the edge of the city's greenbelt, with the low rise of the Gog Magog Hills providing a pleasant rural backdrop.
The village keeps a recognisably historic core of stone and brick cottages alongside more recent homes; a local economy of farms, small trades and services now exists alongside many residents who commute into Cambridge. Community life centres on the village hall, school, pub and clubs, and regular local events and conservation projects reflect its agricultural past and active parish spirit.
