Welcome to Babraham

Babraham is a small village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It is situated approximately 9 miles south-east of Cambridge and has a population of around 500 people. The village is known for its beautiful countryside, historic buildings, and vibrant community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Babraham is the Babraham Hall, a Grade I listed building that dates back to the 16th century. The hall was once the home of the Babraham family, who were prominent landowners in the area. Today, the hall is used as a research center for the Babraham Institute, a world-renowned biomedical research organization. The institute is dedicated to understanding the biology of aging, immunology, and epigenetics.

Babraham is also home to a number of other historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Peter's Church and the Babraham Institute's MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. The village has a strong sense of community, with a range of local events and activities taking place throughout the year. These include the Babraham Feast, an annual celebration that dates back to the 17th century, and the Babraham Village Fete, which features live music, food stalls, and games for all ages.

Magog Down
Nice Off Lead Walk Around The Parameter Of The Gog Magog, Great View Of Cambridge. There Are Some Larger Fields That Can Be Walked Through But Dogs Must Be Kept On Leads As There Are Lots Of Birds Which Nest In The Long Grass In Spring And Also Sheep Which Are In A Secure Field. There Are A Few Benches Scattered Around To Rest You Feet. The Doggy Playing Field Is Nice To Watch Dogs Playing Together And Chat To Other Dog Owners.
