Whittlesford is a compact village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set on the banks of the River Cam a few miles south of Cambridge. It has medieval roots recorded in the Domesday Book and retains historic buildings including the parish church of St Mary; the nearby former airfield at Duxford, home to the Imperial War Museum, is a prominent local landmark and draws visitors for airshows and aviation displays.
Today Whittlesford blends agricultural countryside with a commuter role - many residents travel via Whittlesford Parkway station into Cambridge and beyond - while village pubs, small businesses and community events keep a sociable, local character rather than a purely dormitory feel.
