Longstanton is a village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set in the flat, open Fenland countryside a few miles to the north‑west of Cambridge. It sits by the old airfields of RAF Oakington and the site of the new town of Northstowe, so the landscape mixes traditional village lanes and historic buildings with more recent housing and redevelopment on former military land.
Longstanton has medieval roots and retains a parish church, village hall, pubs and a primary school, while local life is shaped by both farming and a commuter economy feeding the nearby university and research parks in Cambridge. Community groups and annual events keep a strong village feel, even as transport links and development have brought changing demographics and new facilities.
