Just a few minutes away, the thriving town of Haverhill offers everything you and your family need, from outstanding local schools to a lively local market, from a multi-screen cinema to famous annual arts festival. It is even home to Suffolk’s only baseball team!

Coming soon, subject to planning, The Parklands at Great Wilsey Park will offer superb three and four bedroom homes near Cambridge, from Redrow’s award winning Heritage Collection.

TripAdvisor lists no less than 44 places to eat, with Nine Jars Bistro, Route 66, Prezzo and The Drabbet Smock topping the list. The pub grub of The Red Lion, The Rose and Crown and The Royal Exchange is a popular choice, while the kids will love the famous chains such as Frankie and Benny’s and Domino’s Pizza.

Education

We’re all keen to cut our petrol bills and leave the car behind for the school run, and at The Parklands at Great Wilsey Park you can walk or cycle to some of the town’s finest schools with ease. Westfield Primary Academy and Coupals Primary Academy are both close by and both rated ‘good’ by Ofsted, with Samuel Ward Academy for older pupils also conveniently close and rated ‘outstanding’. Pupils with special needs will benefit from the nearby Broadlands Hall independent special school.
For further education and adult learning courses, West Suffolk College in Haverhill offers more than 50 part time courses, while for higher education, the world class colleges of Cambridge are just a short bus ride away.

Leisure

Haverhill is a hive of activity with something for everyone to enjoy. The town has a huge choice of sports clubs as well as a well-equipped modern leisure centre with pool, while golfers can enjoy a challenging round at Haverhill Golf Club to the east of the town.
Cultural activity is centred on Haverhill Arts Centre, which has a varied programme of over 250 events throughout the year, as well as the annual Haverhill Arts Festival which takes place every June. In addition, there’s a wide range of exciting events held in the Market Square, from real ale festivals to the town’s very own motor show. You’ll also find a multi-screen cinema and a ten-pin bowling alley for your evening or weekend entertainment.
For a special treat, you can take the family to the nearby Centre Parcs at Elveden, where you can enjoy all the facilities of the popular holiday park on a day pass.

Shopping

Haverhill has a pedestrianised town centre with an impressive range of shops, as well as regular markets held every Friday in the Market Square and every Saturday on the High Street.
For a more extensive shopping trip, head for Cambridge where you can enjoy the best of both worlds, browsing fascinating independent shops in amongst the colleges and two modern malls, the Grand Arcade and the Grafton Centre, for more familiar high street brands.

Transport

Haverhill lies just 14miles south east of Cambridge and a similar distance south west of Bury St Edmunds, with regular bus services available to both. London is around 50miles and can be reached via the M11, around 20miles away, or by train from Great Chesterford station, around 18miles away, with services into Liverpool Street in an hour and ten minutes.
If you’re heading further afield, London Stanstead Airport is just 20miles making that business trip, family holiday or European weekend break so much simpler.
