Exning sits just outside the bustle of Newmarket, tucked into the corner where Suffolk meets Cambridgeshire. Though it functions today as a quiet satellite to the home of horseracing, the village predates its more famous neighbour; local history suggests it was once the capital of the Iceni tribe and the birthplace of Saint Etheldreda. Geographically, it is shaped by its proximity to the A14 and A11, making it a practical base for anyone working in Cambridge or Bury St Edmunds, yet it retains a self-contained feel thanks to the chalk streams that feed the local landscape. The village layout is traditional, centred around the flint-built St Martin’s Church and a handful of long-standing pubs like The Wheatsheaf and The White Horse. While the sound of gallops is never far away, Exning has its own distinct identity, offering a slower pace and a more domestic atmosphere than the town just two miles down the road.
