Village feelFamily-friendly

Balsham is a quiet village on the eastern edge of South Cambridgeshire, closer to Newmarket than Cambridge. It has a church, a pub (The Bell), and a village hall but not much else. The surrounding area takes in scattered hamlets like West Wratting and West Wickham. People here tend to drive to Cambridge or to Granta Park and the Babraham Research Campus for work. It is properly rural and you need a car for everything.
