Horseheath in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England is a small rural village and civil parish about ten miles south-east of Cambridge and close to Linton. Set on the rolling chalklands of the region, it keeps a quiet agricultural character with a compact cluster of historic cottages, a parish church with medieval origins and a village green that give the place a distinctly villagey feel.
Historically the parish once contained a grand country house, long since demolished, and its story mirrors much of England’s rural change from landed estates to mixed farming and commuter living. Today many residents travel to Cambridge for work while local life still revolves around the village hall, occasional community events and the surrounding farmland, which makes Horseheath popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter base within easy reach of the city.
