Burwell is a characterful village tucked away in the Cambridgeshire countryside, not far from Newmarket and Ely. It's the kind of place where life ticks along at a steady pace, with a good mix of local charm, modern convenience and centuries of history under its belt. There's a strong community spirit here, plenty of green space and a decent high street, all wrapped up in a setting that feels peaceful without being remote.

The roots of Burwell run deep, with the village first mentioned as early as the 10th century. It grew around the natural spring wells that gave it its name, and its position along ancient trade routes meant it thrived through medieval times. Burwell Castle—now just ruins—is a reminder of the village's Norman past. It was also the site of a tragic barn fire in 1727, one of the worst in British history, which claimed the lives of dozens attending a travelling puppet show. These days, the village has grown to house around 6,000 people, and while new developments have cropped up over time, the core of the village still feels firmly rooted in its heritage.

Around Burwell you'll find a good range of attractions and local facilities. Burwell Museum and Windmill is a must if you're visiting—set on the edge of the village, it gives a lovely insight into local life, history and crafts. There's a post office, convenience stores, pubs, takeaways, hairdressers, and a community college, plus St Mary's Church with its striking tower and peaceful graveyard. A little further afield, Wicken Fen offers National Trust-managed boardwalks, wildlife spotting and open skies just five minutes down the road. Anglesey Abbey, with its impressive house, gardens and working watermill, is just a short drive too. Whether you're into history, nature or just somewhere to wander with a coffee in hand, you're well set here.

Cambridgeshire on the whole gives you plenty of variety. There's Cambridge itself, with the colleges, river punting and cultural gems like the Fitzwilliam Museum and Kettle's Yard. Ely offers a quieter pace but packs a punch with its cathedral and riverside scene. You've got Duxford's sprawling air museum for the aviation buffs, and plenty of smaller, charming spots like St Ives, Saffron Walden and Ramsey, all with their own personality. Whether you're after countryside rambles, grand stately homes or somewhere for a proper Sunday roast, you don't need to go far.

Transport-wise, Burwell's well placed. You're close to the A14, so getting to Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds or the M11 is no hassle. The nearest train station is in Newmarket or Soham, both about ten minutes away by car, with connections to Cambridge, Ely and Ipswich. There's a decent local bus service linking to Ely and Newmarket. If you're flying in or out, Stansted is your closest major airport—about 45 minutes by road—and Norwich and Luton aren't far either if you need alternatives.

Cambridgeshire is a county of contrasts, with flat fenland in the north, wooded hills to the south, and the intellectual buzz of Cambridge sitting right in the middle. It's steeped in layers of history, yet full of places with a forward-looking feel. The mix of market towns, rural villages and open countryside gives it a sense of balance. Whether you're just passing through or thinking about putting down roots, it's a part of the world that's easy to warm to.
