Grantchester is a highly sought after and picturesque village, enjoying a real sense of being within the countryside, yet it is just a couple of miles from the city centre and just a few moments drive from the M11. The village is famed for its association with Rupert Brooke, Lord Byron and the Drama series Grantchester and has a sense of being a quintessentially English village, with its pretty Medieval church, famous tea rooms and its riverside location.
Grantchester Meadows provide a lovely area for recreation and there is a pleasant walk which ambles along the riverside to the city. The village currently has a pub, gastropub, tea room, village hall, and Gin distillery. Primary education is available in the neighbouring village of Barton, and secondary and sixth form facilities are available at the Ofsted rated 'outstanding', Comberton Village College. The village is also on the right side of town for access to some of the best private schools Cambridge has to offer.
