Heathfield is a small rural settlement in the district of South Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire, England, within easy reach of the city of Cambridge. The area is characterised by low-lying arable fields, hedgerows and remnants of the heathland that gave the place its name, with a loose scatter of cottages and farmsteads rather than a built-up centre.
Its history is tied to common grazing and agricultural use, and the local economy remains largely rural with many residents commuting into Cambridge for work. Community life tends to revolve around nearby village amenities, country walks and wildlife, giving Heathfield a quiet, village feel prized by those seeking countryside living close to a major academic and employment hub.
