Sawston

Sawston is a sizeable village in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying about seven miles south of Cambridge on the banks of the River Granta. It blends historic streets and surrounding farmland with modern housing and business parks, so it functions both as a commuter settlement for the city and as a local employment centre.

Locally notable are Sawston Hall, a moated Tudor manor with gardens, and Sawston Village College, one of the pioneering village colleges that now serves as a community arts and learning hub; both give the village a strong cultural identity. The community is active, with sports clubs, drama groups and annual events, and good road links and nearby centres such as Duxford keep it well connected to the wider Cambridgeshire economy.
