Warboys village

Awarded ‘Cambridgeshire village of the year’ three times in recent years, Warboys is an attractive village which enjoys an interesting history and is home to excellent local shops and services.

Within just half a mile of the development, residents will find a popular primary school, a small supermarket, a convenience store, a traditional social club, a library and a village bakery, not to mention two family-friendly pubs serving hearty home-cooked meals.

Local history

The village’s fascinating heritage can be seen in landmarks such as the War Memorial, the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, the early 17th century Manor House, and the impressive Clock Tower, which commemorates the Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. Warboys’ village pond, known locally as ‘The Weir’, is just a stone’s throw from The Furrows and acts as a popular site for wildlife spotting.
