Alconbury sits just north of Huntingdon, positioned where the Alconbury Brook winds through the landscape before meeting the River Great Ouse. It is a village of two distinct parts: the established, historic core with its traditional green and 13th-century church, and the newer, evolving community developing on the site of the former RAF Alconbury airfield. Historically, its location was defined by the Old North Road, making it a key stopping point for travellers for centuries - a legacy still visible in the layout of the local inns. Today, that connectivity remains its most practical feature, being situated almost exactly at the interchange of the A1 and the A14. This provides straightforward road links to Cambridge, Peterborough, and London, while nearby Huntingdon station offers a direct rail connection to King’s Cross. Despite this proximity to major transport arteries, the heart of the village retains a quiet, rural character, supported by a local shop, a primary school, and a network of footpaths that lead out into the surrounding Cambridgeshire countryside.
