Histon and Impington

Histon and Impington are a pair of adjoining villages and a single parish just to the north of Cambridge, lying in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England. Historically agricultural with medieval roots and a past in brickmaking and light industry, the villages sit on low, pleasant countryside with good cycle and bus links into Cambridge - the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway and traffic routes make them popular with commuters while green belts and conservation areas preserve a village feel.

They punch above their weight culturally and socially: Impington is home to the striking modernist Impington Village College by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry, and Histon has a compact high street, lively pubs, community events and a proud football club that enjoyed non‑league prominence. Proximity to Cambridge and the wider tech cluster often called Silicon Fen means a mix of long‑standing local identity and new residents linked to the city’s economy.
