Comberton Village

The village of Comberton is about 6 miles from the historic university city of Cambridge, in the East Anglia region of England. It has a population of about 2000. It lies less than a kilometer from the Greenwich Meridian, so its Lat/Long is roughly 52°N, 0°E (more precisely it is 52°12'N, 0°01'N). The National Grid Reference for the crossroads in the centre of the village is TL382563, at an altitude of 29m. See the village web site for more information.

See a bigger location map showing where it is in the UK.

The village is to the South West of the city of Cambridge, as shown in this approach map (Crown Copyright), courtesy of the Ordnance Survey's 'Getamap'service.
Our bungalow is at the western side of the village, on the southern edge, as shown onthis further Crown Copyright map.

Here are directions for approaching the village and finding our house.

Here also is an A4-sized "Knowhere Map" in Adobe PDF,
showing three submaps of increasing detail of how to find our house.

As historical context, a historical OS map of Comberton,
surveyed in 1886, revised 1901, and reprinted up to 1934.

Comberton has been twinned with the village of Le Vaudreuil near Rouen in France since 1999,
with visits twice a year since. See my Twinning page.

I have drafted a document on the Lot Way in Comberton
as a Lost Highway to be re-established.

Comberton parish is very short of public footpaths and tracks.
I have sketched out a set of blue sky ideas for new path routes.

Rogation walks historically beat the bounds and blessed the land and people.
Triggered by the Friends of St Mary's, here are two Rogation Walks round Comberton.

I've written a couple of short articles for the village magazine Comberton Contact:

Comberton_Paths published September 2021.
Encroachment on_Highways published April 2022.
