The ward covers the neighbouring villages of Milton and Waterbeach in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying just north of Cambridge on the edge of the fens. Its position beside the River Cam and good rail and road links make it a popular commuter area for the city.
Locally there’s a mix of old fenland character and recent change: Milton Country Park with lakes and wildlife draws walkers and birdwatchers, while the former RAF Waterbeach site is being redeveloped, bringing new housing and business opportunities. The villages still keep active community life with pubs, clubs and parish councils, giving a blend of historic agricultural roots and a growing, outward-looking population connected to Cambridge’s economy.
