Hauxton is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, situated on the south bank of the River Cam roughly six miles south of Cambridge. It sits on low-lying fen-edge countryside with good road links via the nearby A10 and M11, so it feels rural while being within easy reach of the city and broader commuter routes.
Hauxton has medieval roots and appears in early records; agriculture long dominated the local economy, while a 20th-century industrial site on the village edge brought different uses and subsequent remediation and redevelopment. Today the community is a mix of longstanding village life and commuter households, with a village hall, green spaces and local groups that help retain a close-knit, quietly historic character despite the pressures of development nearby.
