“It saves on travel costs and also increase the amount of off-site activity because you can literally go out of the front door and be in a field or by the lake...We have a field just round the back of us - we call it the 'nature reserve' but it is literally just a field. Taking children there is like taking them into a different world and they love it...we have picked kilos of blackberries over the years and then baked crumbles and muffins with the fruit. We know that several pupils have revisited with their families to show them this special space.”

“Cambourne’s greatest success are its open spaces, they enhance our human well being.

On Pentecost we go up to Crow Hill, have a thanksgiving service and fly kites.

There are Muntjac deer that come right into the centre of the village, they’re a bit of a pest around the church but its that engagement with the wider world that keeps us spiritually healthy.

My favourite place is the bike ride from the Vicarage through Oaks Wood, past the lakes, to Caxton.”
